Managing Customization Specification

Customization specifications are XML files that contain guest operating system settings for virtual machines.

You create customization specifications with the Guest Customization wizard, and manage specifications

using the Customization Specification Manager.
vCenter Server saves the customized configuration parameters in the vCenter Server database. If the

customization settings are saved, the administrator, and domain administrator, passwords are stored in

encrypted format in the database. Because the certificate used to encrypt the passwords is unique to each

vCenter Server system, reinstalling vCenter Server, or attaching a new instance of the server the database,

invalidates the encrypted passwords. The passwords must be re-entered before they can be used.

Edit Customization Specifications

You can edit existing specifications using the Customization Specification Manager.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you must have at least one customization specification.

Procedure

1

In the vSphere Client, select View > Management > Customization Specifications Manager.

2

In the Customization Specification Manager, right-click a specification and select Edit.

3

Proceed through the Guest Customization wizard to change specification setting.

Export Customization Specifications

You can export customization specifications and save them as 

.xml

 files. To apply an exported specification to

a virtual machine, import the .xml file using the Customization Specification Manager.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you must have at least one customization specification.

Procedure

1

In the vSphere Client, select View > Management > Customization Specifications Manager.

2

In the Customization Specification Manager, right-click a specification and select Export.

3

In the Save As dialog, enter a file name and location.

4

Click Save.

The specification is saved as an 

.xml

 file to the location you specified.

Remove a Customization Specification

You can remove customization specifications from the Customization Specification Manager.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you must have at least one customization specification.

Procedure

1

In the vSphere Client, select View > Management > Customization Specifications Manager.

2

In the Customization Specification Manager, right-click a specification and select Remove.
