public Builder(HostnameGenerator hostname,
               java.lang.String domain)

Constructor with parameters for the required properties of LinuxConfiguration.

Method Detail

setTimeZone

public LinuxConfiguration.Builder setTimeZone(java.lang.String timeZone)

The case-sensitive time zone, such as Europe/Sofia. Valid time zone values are based on the tz (time zone) database used by Linux. The values are strings (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 https://kb.vmware.com/kb/2145518 for a list of supported time zones for different versions in Linux.

. This property was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0. If null, time zone is not modified inside guest operating system.

Parameters:

timeZone - New value for the property.

setScriptText

public LinuxConfiguration.Builder setScriptText(java.lang.String scriptText)

The script to run before and after Linux guest customization.
The max size of the script is 1500 bytes. As long as the script (shell, perl, python...) has the right "#!" in the header, it is supported. The caller should not assume any environment variables when the script is run.

The script is invoked by the customization engine using the command line: 1) with argument "precustomization" before customization, 2) with argument "postcustomization" after customization. The script should parse this argument and implement pre-customization or post-customization task code details in the corresponding block.

A Linux shell script example:

#!/bin/sh
if [ x$1 == x"precustomization" ]; then
echo "Do Precustomization tasks"
#code for pre-customization actions...
elif [ x$1 == x"postcustomization" ]; then
echo "Do Postcustomization tasks"
#code for post-customization actions...
fi


. This property was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0. If null, no script will be executed.

Parameters:

scriptText - New value for the property.
