This page explains the rules of associating VMware vSphere resources, created via Terraform, with the classes in the ServiceNow CMDB.
Mapping of Terraform resources to CMDB CI Classes
| vSphere resource | Terraform resource name | ServiceNow CMDB CI Class | ServiceNow CMDB Category Name |
|---|---|---|---|
| vCenter server | N/A | cmdb_ci_cloud_service_account | Cloud Service Account |
| vSphere Datacenter | vsphere_datacenter | cmdb_ci_vcenter_datacenter | VMware vCenter Datacenter |
| vSphere Virtual Machine | vsphere_virtual_machine | cmdb_ci_vmware_instance | VMware Virtual Machine Instance |
| vSphere Datastore Cluster | vsphere_datastore_cluster | cmdb_ci_vcenter_datastore | VMware vCenter Datastore |
| vSphere Network | vsphere_network | cmdb_ci_vcenter_network | VMware vCenter Network |
| Tags | N/A | cmdb_key_value | Key Value |
