[racktables-users] Re: How to define Blades (or virtual Hosts)

Thanks, 

That actually makes sense,  I can define a rack to represent the blade
enclosure, lets say a 20 U  and I can define a server(blade) to take
2u's a piece and go that way.  Also I can define a rack-row to be
rack.... and the racks can be the enclosures....

That is why they should pay you the BIG bucks....


Thanks, 
Luis
