Properties and provisioning

Provisioning uses three types of system objects — devices, system packages, and data store instances. In addition, a provisioned device is represented as a sever object. Like other system objects in BMC Server Automation, these system objects have properties.

• For information about device properties, see Device properties.
• For information about system package properties, see System package properties.
• For information about data store instances, see Data store instance properties.
• For information about assigning values to server properties in the provisioning process, see Provisioning server properties using the PROVSERVER class.

Inserting parameters that refer to properties can streamline the provisioning process. For information about using parameters during provisioning, see:

• Streamlining the wizard with parameterized properties - an example
• Inserting a parameter in a system package field
• Using properties to reference scripts
