Why does "contains:contained by" relationship not always show in dependency viewer?

Sometimes the "Contains" relationship is visible in the Dependency Viewer, such as below example showing a Storage Server and the Storage Volumes it contains:

find_real_file.png

 

And sometimes the Contains relationship does not show up on the Dependency Viewer, such as the below relationship from a Computer to a Disk. And in this case it is great that it does not  show up, as it would cause an immensely cluttered dependency view.

find_real_file.png

 

But how do you control when does the "Contains" relationship show in the Dependency Viewer, and when not?

I have for a relationship between a UCS Chassis and a UCS Blade, which I do want to have shown in the Dependency Viewer, but I cannot get it to show:

find_real_file.png

 

I have exported the above CIs and associated relationship into two PDIs, a Quebec version and a San Diego version. And the "Contains" relationship also do not show in the Dependency Viewer in those instances.

So this seems to be OOB behaviour.

Thanks

Hi,

 

These were defined in the 'cmdb_rel_filter' table to filter these kinds of relationships
