An alternative way of documenting ESX servers as well as many other systems, is XIA Configuration. It has a VMWare plug-in which supports both vCenter and ESX, and can document Virtual Machines, VMWare hosts, Resource Pools and VMWare Clusters. There is a free trial version. http://www.centrel-solutions.com/XIAConfiguration/capabilities.aspx?capability=VMwareSystem
