agentConfig
Optional

A list of AgentConfigInfos for hosts covered by this Agency.

When provisioning a new agent to a host, vSphere ESX Agent Manager tries to find, from left to right in the array, a match for an AgentConfigInfo and stops searching at the first one that it finds. If AgencyConfigInfoEx.vmPlacementPolicy is set, the array needs to contain only a single agent config. In that case the agent config is not bound to a specific host, but to the whole cluster.

scope
Optional

Scope specifies which where to deploy agents.

This structure may be used only with operations rendered under /eam.

boolean
manuallyMarkAgentVmAvailableAfterProvisioning
Optional

If set to true, the client of this agency must manually mark the agent as ready after the agent virtual machine has been provisioned.

This is useful if the client of this solution performs some extra reconfiguration of the agent virtual machine before it is powered on.

See also Agent.MarkAsAvailable.

boolean
manuallyMarkAgentVmAvailableAfterPowerOn
Optional

If set to true, the client of this agency must manually mark the agent as ready after the agent virtual machine has been powered on.

In this case, DRS will not regard the agent virtual machine as ready until the client has marked the agent as ready.

See also Agent.MarkAsAvailable.

boolean
optimizedDeploymentEnabled
Optional

If set to true, ESX Agent Manager will use vSphere Linked Clones to speed up the deployment of agent virtual machines.

Using linked clones implies that the agent virtual machines cannot use Storage vMotion to move to another vSphere datastore. If set to false, ESX Agent Manager will use Full VM Cloning. If unset default is true.

string
agentName
Optional

An optional name to use when naming agent virtual machines.

For example, if set to "example-agent", each agent virtual machine will be named "example-agent (1)", "example-agent (2)", and so on. The maximum length of agentName is 70 characters.

string
agencyName
Optional

Name of the agency.

Must be set when creating the agency.

boolean
useUuidVmName
Optional

Property agentName is required if this property is set to true.

If set to true, ESX Agent Manager will name virtual machines with UUID suffix. For example, "example-agent-UUID". In this case, the maximum length of agentName is 43 characters.

If not set or is set to false, virtual machines will not contain UUID in their name.

boolean
manuallyProvisioned
Optional

Deprecated use automatically provisioned VMs and register hooks to have control post provisioning and power on.

Set to true if agent VMs are manually provisioned.

If unset, defaults to false.

boolean
manuallyMonitored
Optional

Deprecated use automatically provisioned VMs and register hooks to have control post provisioning and power on.

Set to true if agent VMs are manually monitored.

If unset, defaults to false. This can only be set to true if AgencyConfigInfo.manuallyProvisioned is set to true.

boolean
bypassVumEnabled
Optional

Deprecated vUM is no more consulted so this property has no sense anymore.

Set to true will install VIBs directly on the hosts even if VMware Update Manager is installed.

If unset, defaults to false.

agentVmNetwork
Optional

Specifies the networks which to be configured on the agent VMs.

This property is only applicable for pinned to host VMs - i.e. (AgencyConfigInfoEx.vmPlacementPolicy) is not set.

If not set or AgencyConfigInfo.preferHostConfiguration is set to true, the default host agent VM network (configured through vim.host.EsxAgentHostManager) is used, otherwise the first network from the array that is present on the host is used.

At most one of AgencyConfigInfo.agentVmNetwork and AgencyConfigInfoEx.vmNetworkMapping needs to be set.

agentVmDatastore
Optional

The datastores used to configure the storage on the agent VMs.

This property is required if AgencyConfigInfoEx.vmPlacementPolicy is set and AgencyConfigInfoEx.datastoreSelectionPolicy is not set. In that case the first element from the list is used.

If not set or AgencyConfigInfo.preferHostConfiguration is set to true and AgencyConfigInfoEx.vmPlacementPolicy is not set, the default host agent VM datastore (configured through vim.host.EsxAgentHostManager) is used, otherwise the first datastore from the array that is present on the host is used.

If AgencyConfigInfoEx.vmPlacementPolicy is set at most one of AgencyConfigInfo.agentVmDatastore and AgencyConfigInfoEx.datastoreSelectionPolicy needs to be set. If AgencyConfigInfoEx.vmPlacementPolicy is not set AgencyConfigInfoEx.datastoreSelectionPolicy takes precedence over AgencyConfigInfo.agentVmDatastore .

boolean
preferHostConfiguration
Optional

If set to true the default agent VM datastore and network will take precedence over AgencyConfigInfo.agentVmNetwork and AgencyConfigInfo.agentVmDatastore when configuring the agent VMs.

This property is not used if AgencyConfigInfoEx.vmPlacementPolicy is set.

ipPool
Optional

Specifications of the network configuration to be used on a network.

This is used to generate IP addresses and for self-customization of vApps.

resourcePools
Optional

Defines the resource pools where VMs to be deployed.

If specified, the VMs for every compute resouce in the scope will be deployed to its corresponding resource pool. If not specified, the agent VMs for each compute resource will be deployed under top level nested resource pool created for the agent VMs. If unable to create a nested resource pool, the root resource pool of the compute resource will be used.

folders
Optional

Defines the folders where VMs to be deployed.

If specified, the VMs for every compute resouce in the scope will be deployed to its corresponding folder. The link is made between the compute resource parent and the datacenter the folder belongs to AgencyVMFolder.datacenterId. If not specified, the agent VMs for each compute resource will be deployed in top level folder created in each datacenter for the agent VMs.
