Data Object Description

This is the Linux counterpart to the Windows Sysprep object. LinuxPrep contains machine-wide settings that identify a Linux machine in the same way that the Sysprep type identifies a Windows machine.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
compatibleCustomizationMethod*	xsd:string	The compatible customization method is an identifier of a customization strategy which is implementable in a group of Linux operating systems. This value does not need to be set if your operating system is officially supported by VMware guest operating system customization. When using a Linux operating system which hasn't been officially supported and it is designed to be 100% bug-for-bug compatible with an officially supported Linux operating system, it can be customized by an existing customization method. Please set the compatible customization method to a supported string value e.g. "GOSC_METHOD_1". See Supported compatible customization method list. *Since* vSphere API Release 8.0.3.0
domain	xsd:string	The fully qualified domain name.
extraConfig*	OptionValue[]	Additional key/value pairs to support third party customization. *Since* vSphere API Release 9.1.0.0
hostName	CustomizationName	The network host name of the (Linux) virtual machine.
hwClockUTC*	xsd:boolean	Specifies whether the hardware clock is in UTC or local time. True when the hardware clock is in UTC. False when the hardware clock is in local time. *Since* vSphere API Release 4.0
password*	CustomizationPassword	Password set for root accounts. The password value must be a non-empty string. If this field is not set, the root password will remain unchanged. Set the plainText flag to indicate whether the value is plain text or encrypted. *Since* vSphere API Release 9.1.0.0
resetPassword*	xsd:boolean	Require root accounts to change their password on first login after customization. *Since* vSphere API Release 9.1.0.0
scriptText*	xsd:string	The script to run before and after GOS customization. *Since* vSphere API Release 7.0
timeZone*	xsd:string	The case-sensitive timezone, such as Europe/Sofia. Valid timeZone values are based on the tz (timezone) database used by Linux and other Unix systems. The values are strings (xsd:string) in the form "Area/Location," in which Area is a continent or ocean name, and Location is the city, island, or other regional designation. See the List of supported time zones for different vSphere versions in Linux/Unix systems. *Since* vSphere API Release 4.0
