We manage stacks this way:

One object is 'master', it has all the ports, IPs, FQDN and so on.
Other objects, 'slaves', have no IPs and ports. They have different names (the name of the stack with numeric suffix), tagged with the 'slave' tag, mounted in a rack, and, optionally, are nested into a master switch using the containers feature.

By the way, you can mount an object into multiple racks, so may be you don't need separate objects at all.

We have two Cisco 4500X switches, stacked with VSS and mounted in different serverrooms.
How do i fix that?

I see two problems.
1. If i just split them, and create 2 switches, everything will be good in the racks, but how to add IP adresses? 2. If i create one switch, with all the interfaces, then i can add IP adresses, but i cant mount them in 2 different racks..

Switch stacks are difficult in racktables.
