Configure Resource Mappings
After you add an instance of vCloud Director to Request Manager, you can create the resource mappings to
specify the vCloud Director resources you can import from that instance.
In order to import mappings from instances of vCloud Director, you must define how the fields of entities in
vCloud Director (such as virtual data centers, virtual applications, and so on) will map into Request Manager.
The following vCloud Director resource types must be mapped for each instance of vCloud Director . The list
