Configuring the VMware vCloud adapter

You configure an adapter in Grid Manager. The configuration provides information about how the adapter interacts with VMware vCloud. While each adapter must have a unique name, you can create multiple adapters with the same adapter type to allow for different configuration properties.

The form view provides an easy-to-use interface for configuring adapters. The form view prevents human errors that might occur as a result of copying the configuration XML from the XML sample into the UI when configuring an adapter. You can switch to the XML view to configure those elements and attributes that are not available as fields or to configure all the elements and attributes using XML only. However, after you switch to the XML view, and save the configuration in the XML from that view, you cannot thereafter use the form view for modifying that configuration.
