CMDB Data Rack

Hi

Is it possible to show what Rack Unit a device is located in.

We have loaded our Data Centers and Rack information and we are now adding our devices to each of our Racks in the cmdb_ci_rack table.  But I cannot see where/how I specify what RU location each device is physically located in. 

Thanking you so much in advance! 🙂

Hi @Nicole Bell ,

You can use relationship to show in which Rack a system is located in. 
I am attaching the screenshot for all the Suggested relations available from racks.

Thanks and Regards,

Thanks Prabhjot, I have created some relationships to show devices in a rack but I wanted to show the specific rack unit where the device is located within the rack.  Sounds like from the below it isn't possible but I'm checking.

@Nicole Bell There isn't anything out of the box for tracking rack elevation. There are a couple of (paid) apps in the appstore that offer this though.

Thanks Steve - just to be sure I've understood you right, OOTB we can only show a relationship from the CI to the rack, and NOT what specific RU in the rack that CI is located?
