Ray, 

 

That is not a bad model actually, I kind of like it.   We have a lot of
enclosures and getting more..  

Using Rows for Racks and Racks for Enclosures is a workable solution for
us...   I have to think about re-doing my stuff..  

 

Thanks, 

 

Luis

Hi Rob,

 

Racktables doesn't currently have support for blade centres or modular
devices.

 

One option that has been mentioned on this list is simply to create a
new rack for the chassis.

 

Personally I've bodged something together as per the screenshot
attached. In this case the Dell M1000e chassis has 16 blade slots in the
front and 6 network slots in the back.

This isn't ideal but works for us as power constraints only allow us to
put one chassis in any one rack.

 

Regards,

Ray

I'm just wondering ... how would I represent something like an IBM
Bladecenter??  ( http://is.gd/2gG3T ) A Bladecenter is a 7-12U chassis
that contains up to 14 servers and 8 switches. I see how I can put the
chassis in a rack .... but how do I put the blade servers and switches
in the chassis???
