Yes, we have many different models as well.  We use the common name for 
make/model.  Like this:

Dell EqualLogic PS6100-U#-C# (RU Allocation (U#) and Cabinet Allocation (C#))

We don't necessarily want to add a unique object with every make/model so we 
use a more generic object type (DiskArray).

We have several SANs (VNX 5300, 5500, VNXe 3300), and use DiskArrays. We create 
unique objects for each DAE, DME/SPE, ControlStation, SPS.
Here are some real examples. These are all DiskArray object types.  If you 
wanted to split it up, you should create new object types.
corp_VNX5300_DAE_3
corp_VNX5300_DAE_2
corp_VNX5300_DAE_1
corp_VNX5300_DME
corp_VNX5300_CS1
corp_VNX5300_CS0
corp_VNX5300_DPE
corp_VNX5300_SPS

I used disk arrays for the SAN. Added some attributes like drive size and speed 
and number of drives.

I'm preparing to input my SAN equipment.  Looks like i need to build each 
device type into Racktables.  Is there any experience with this that will make 
things easier?  Looks like I'll be create disk trays, storage processors, and 
power supplies as each are independent rack items.

Equipment is EMC CX4-960 if it matters.
