vRA 7.2 Add CDRom & Mount CDRom Error

Hi All,..

In order to enable the end user to mount an Iso file from his/her desktop, I have tried both, add CDrom & mount CDrom actions

However, both actions return with the error   (Failed to convert external resource "vm name". Script action com.vmware.vcac.asd.mappings/mapToVCVM failed.) 

I don't know what is missing but I even tried to run the workflow from vRO & when it prompts for the VM name  & I give many vms names for VMs running in my vCenter,

the vRO can't find them although it is connected to the vcenter . 

I appreciate your help regarding this issue. 

Best Regards

Usaully this means there is something wrong with the endpoint that you configured inside of vRO for your vCenter server.  Make sure that when you added vCenter to Orchestrator that it showed up as usable (look at the output variables for the successful connection, the last one will be newInstance, make sure it doesn't say unusable.)

Try to run the workflow directly in orchestrator and make sure that works first.
