    Parameters:
    
    hostname - New value for the property.
  - getDomain
```
public java.lang.String getDomain()
```
    The fully qualified domain name. This property was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0.

    The fully qualified domain name. This property was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0.
    
    Parameters:
    
    domain - New value for the property.
  - getTimeZone
```
public java.lang.String getTimeZone()
```
    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.
    
    Returns:
    
    The current value of the property.
  - setTimeZone
```
public void 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.
  - getScriptText
```
public java.lang.String getScriptText()
```
    The script to run before and after Linux guest customization.
    The max size of the script is 65536 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.
    
    Returns:
    
    The current value of the property.
  - setScriptText
```
public void setScriptText(java.lang.String scriptText)
```
    The script to run before and after Linux guest customization.
    The max size of the script is 65536 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.

    . 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.
  - getCompatibleCustomizationMethod
```
public java.lang.String getCompatibleCustomizationMethod()
```
    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 all the supported compatible customization methods in https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/95903
    . This property was added in vSphere API 8.0.3.0. If null, the customization may fail in a Linux operating systems which hasn't been officially supported.
    
    Returns:
    
    The current value of the property.
