and databases.

Request Manager requires vCloud Director 1.0.
The following lists the system requirements for vCloud Director.

pre-configured account within vCloud Director with full system administrator privileges. This account
must not belong to a specific vCloud Director organization.

vCloud Director.

vApp templates.
