1. Navigate to configuration -> Identification / Reconciliation -> Metadata Editor

2. Check for Hardware rule to understand how to setup a new rule

3. Depending on class to which IP address hosting rule has to be configured

select configuration item type = class (for example esx server)

Relationship type = Owns::Owned by

Reverse relationship direction = true
