| internal_metadata - | Metadata to be set and associated with this VM, this contains operator generated keys. | |
| internal_metadata_namespace - | List of namespaces to be set as internal_metadata-only; these namespaces will come from internal_metadata rather than customer_metadata. | |
| kernel_version - | Kernel version to emulate for LX VMs. | |

| max_lwps - | Maximum number of lightweight processes this VM is allowed to have running. | |
| max_physical_memory - | Maximum amount of memory (in MiBs) on the host that the VM is allowed to use. | |
| max_swap - | Maximum amount of virtual memory (in MiBs) the VM is allowed to use. | |
| mdata_exec_timeout - | Timeout in seconds (or 0 to disable) for the svc:/smartdc/mdata:execute service that runs user-scripts in the zone. | |
| name - | Name of the VM. vmadm(1M) uses this as an optional name. aliases: alias | |
| nic_driver - | Default value for a virtual NIC model for KVM guests. | |
| nics - | A list of nics to add, valid properties are documented in vmadm(1M). | |
| nowait - | Consider the provisioning complete when the VM first starts, rather than when the VM has rebooted. | |
| qemu_extra_opts - | Additional qemu cmdline arguments for KVM guests. | |
| qemu_opts - | Additional qemu arguments for KVM guests. This overwrites the default arguments provided by vmadm(1M) and should only be used for debugging. | |
| quota - | Quota on zone filesystems (in MiBs). | |
| ram - | Amount of virtual RAM for a KVM guest (in MiBs). | |
| resolvers - | List of resolvers to be put into /etc/resolv.conf. | |
| routes - | Dictionary that maps destinations to gateways, these will be set as static routes in the VM. | |
| spice_opts - | Addition options for SPICE-enabled KVM VMs. | |
| spice_password - | Password required to connect to SPICE. By default no password is set. Please note this can be read from the Global Zone. | |
| state - / required |
| States for the VM to be in. Please note that present, stopped and restarted operate on a VM that is currently provisioned. present means that the VM will be created if it was absent, and that it will be in a running state. absent will shutdown the zone before removing it. stopped means the zone will be created if it doesn't exist already, before shutting it down. |
| tmpfs - | Amount of memory (in MiBs) that will be available in the VM for the /tmp filesystem. | |
| uuid - | UUID of the VM. Can either be a full UUID or * for all VMs. | |
| vcpus - | Number of virtual CPUs for a KVM guest. | |
| vga - | Specify VGA emulation used by KVM VMs. | |
| virtio_txburst - | Number of packets that can be sent in a single flush of the tx queue of virtio NICs. | |
| virtio_txtimer - | Timeout (in nanoseconds) for the TX timer of virtio NICs. | |
| vnc_password - | Password required to connect to VNC. By default no password is set. Please note this can be read from the Global Zone. | |
| vnc_port - | TCP port to listen of the VNC server. Or set 0 for random, or -1 to disable. | |
| zfs_data_compression - | Specifies compression algorithm used for this VMs data dataset. This option only has effect on delegated datasets. | |
| zfs_data_recsize - | Suggested block size (power of 2) for files in the delegated dataset's filesystem. | |

| zfs_io_priority - | IO throttle priority value relative to other VMs. | |
| zfs_root_compression - | Specifies compression algorithm used for this VMs root dataset. This option only has effect on the zoneroot dataset. | |
| zfs_root_recsize - | Suggested block size (power of 2) for files in the zoneroot dataset's filesystem. | |
| zfs_snapshot_limit - | Number of snapshots the VM can have. | |
| zpool - | ZFS pool the VM's zone dataset will be created in. |
