Storage System Mapping
The Storage System Mapping option is used to map existing HP 3PAR 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 VCenterRegister
prior to the mapping. Since Host Explorer uses the system ID obtained from ESX host information
to determine which HP 3PAR Storage System it is connected to, only one mapping is allowed per
storage system. The Host Explorer Storage System Mapping option appears (
).
