In Eureka patch 6.

 

There is no CMDB class that suits Blade Chassis or is there?

I'm going to ask my internal dev to create a new class to manage Blade Chassis.   Has anyone met any challenges with creating new classes?

ServiceNow why don't you have Blade Chassis as a class?

We created our own class for blade chassis and blade slots. The blade slots are referenced back to the chassis and we also have a field in each slot that references the server table to map servers to the slots. Works pretty well but it all manual entry.

When you created the new Blade Chassis table, did you "Extend" it from any existing table? Or did you just create a brand new table from scratch?

We also created our own Chassis table (required for some ESX servers) and put it under the Data Center section. The main fields are Name, Location, Serial, Operational Status, Manufacturer, Model, Rack and Rack Unit. It has a Related List linking back to the ESX Server table for us, so you can see all the servers in the Chassis. Then we added a reference field to the Chassis table to the general Server table, which is a parent of the ESX Server table, and then exposed it on the ESX Server form. So then, if you fill out the Chassis for a particular ESX Server, the server will appear in the related list for the Chassis.



Hope this helps.
