[racktables-users] Re: Betr.: RackTables + Nagios + Bacula

Your ideas are very similar to what I'm planning to do, but with one difference:
We are using HPSD 4.5 w/ SP26.

I don't know if there is a big difference between 4.5 and 5.0 CMDB-wise.
If not, could you please forward the scripts when they are ready to publish? 
I'm looking forward to it.

We have done some integrations from our HP SD 5 to racktables, but it's 
not ready to be published. However, if anyone starts a project for it 
we'd be happy to donate some code / queries / ideas.

What we have in place is this:

* Mapping racks from ServiceDesk to RackTables based on Configuration 
Item name.
* Population and changes to servers in SD is reflected to RackTables 
with a scheduled task.
* We've also modified RackTables to allow a separate 'view' for planned 
space allocations (ref image: 
http://img187.imageshack.us/my.php?image=racktablescz5.png ). Red space 
is allocated based on status in the Configuration Item but not yet 
physically placed in the rack. We currently have 68 racks with several 
internal departments allocating space, so it was crucial for our 
planning to see what was already planned to use. We could of course have 
used the normal color but this makes it easy to see what's already there 
and what's coming.

Probably some more stuff that I can't remember right now.
