Hi!
I digged through the code and following the already existing schema, i
added an IPMI panel which is only displayed after ipv4 address
allocation for a specific object. Now I have some questins:
I usually have hosts with several interfaces, strictly separating
between ipmi and non-ipmi networks for security reasons. Now I would
like to have either a select component or several option buttons,
displaying all assigned network interfaces for my current object. I am
able to list all assigned interfaces, but where/how do I persist an IPMI
interface selection? Should a add a new attribute holding the interface
id? Is this "nice & clean"? Is there something similar alread in RT
where i take a glimpse at?
Regards,
