Blade chassis in the CMDB

[Scott Paterson1]

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?

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?

Scott,

At my previous employer, I was asked the same thing by the Server Engineering team to create a new class for blade chassis as it was not available for them to use.   And I agree with Jay, it is something that you will have to create manually but it is not difficult at all.  

Just for reference, I have listed below the Wiki article to give you a better understanding of how the CMDB Classifications work.

I noticed that there is a built-in table for this purpose already 'cmdb_ci_chassis_server' (Istanbul) however it doesn't seem to have the relationships. I created the 1:M relationships to the server and rack tables.

Relationship: Servers (Many) > Chassis (1)

There can be multiple servers in a single chassis.

* Created a "Chassis" reference field on the Server table.

* Created a "Servers" related list on the Chassis table.

Relationship: Chassis (Many) > Rack (1)

There can be multiple chassis in a single rack.

* Created a "Rack" reference field on the Chassis table.

* Created a "Chassis" related list on the Rack table.
