Until the new uber featureful release is out you can do what I did -
create a new Chapter  called 'Hosted On'. Add your ESX server as
words. Create a new attribute called 'Hosted on' , type dict.
Now, put it all together by mapping the 'Hosted On' Chapter to Server
object with 'Hosted On' Dictionary.
Create VMs as normal servers and set the 'Hosted On'  field to
respective esx host.
It's not very elegant but it works well for me and I'm managing a 200+ VM shop.
