+####Resource Path (optional)
-Resource Path (optional)
Resource Path only needs to be configured if VMware vCenter is used. It defines the location where VMs will be created in the vCenter inventory tree. The inventory tree contains at least one Datacenter, and may also contain Folders, Clusters, and Resource Pools.
Example: /DatacenterA/Folder1/Cluster2/ResourcePool3

-####Repository Path (optional)
-
- Path where master copies of images are stored which are used to transfer images to VM host datastores or to other repositories:
- If a reservation is assigned to a host but the image does not exist in that host's datastore, it is copied from the repository to the virtual disk path when the VM is loaded
- If the VCL environment contains multiple management nodes and the image does not exist in the repository or the host's datastore, the image will be retrieved from another management node's repository by copying it via SCP
