4.4.2 InServ Mapping

The InServ Mapping option is used to map existing InServ credentials to be used by Host Explorer for submitting corresponding ESX host information. The InServ credentials need to be created via InServ Credential or RMVMware.exe prior to the mapping. Since Host Explorer uses the system ID obtained from ESX host information to determine which InServ it is connected to, only one mapping is allowed per InServ. The Host Explorer InServ Mapping option appears (Figure 4-8).
