Create Unified Single Machine Blueprints in ROBO

A blueprint is the complete specification for a virtual, cloud, or physical machine. Blueprints determine a machine's attributes, the manner in which it is provisioned, and its policy and management settings. Create three blueprints from which to clone the virtual machine for your environment using pre-configured resources on the vCenter Server compute cluster in both Region A and the Remote Office/Branch Office. Tenants use these blueprints to automatically provision virtual machines. 

Repeat this procedure to create three Unified Single Machine blueprints, one for each blueprint name listed in the following table.

Blueprint Name	VM Template	Reservation Policy	Customization Specification	Service Catalog
Windows Server 2012 R2 - Unified Prod	windows-2012r2-64	UnifiedBlueprint-Policy	os-windows-joindomain-custom-spec	Unified Single Machine Catalog
Windows Server 2012 R2 With SQL2012 - Unified Prod	windows-2012r2-64-sql2012	UnifiedBlueprint-Policy	os-windows-joindomain-custom-spec	Unified Single Machine Catalog
Red hat Enterprise Linux 6 - Unified Prod	redhat6-enterprise-64	UnifiedBlueprint-Policy	os-linux-custom-spec	Unified Single Machine Catalog
