This section covers the Site Recovery Manager API methods for inventory (resource) mapping.
Resource mappings are the pairings of resources between the protected and recovery sites. In other words, mapping the networks, resource pools, datacenters and so forth on the protected site to their counterparts on the recovery site. This is done so that virtual machines will recover in the correct places on the recovery site. Previously this was done only in the UI, but APIs have been added to automate these mappings.
