Storage System Mapping
The Storage System Mapping option is used to map existing HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system
credentials to be used by Host Explorer for submitting corresponding ESX host information. The
credentials need to be created via Storage System Credential or RMVMware.exe with option
InServRegister prior to the mapping. Since Host Explorer uses the system ID obtained from ESX
host information to determine which HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system it is connected to, only
one mapping is allowed per storage system. The Host Explorer Storage System Mapping option
appears (
