Hi,
In the Data Center - Rack table (cmdb_ci_rack) there is a field called "Rack units in use"
Now I'm little confused about the calculation for this field, I cant find any?
What I understood is that you define the size(unit) of the Server on the related Server Model in the "Height (U)" filed.
And then I think it should be some logic/BR/scheduled job that will calculates "Rack units in use" data dependent of the related object to the rack. but I cant find any? or am I wrong?

I do not have enough knowledge about this to answer confidently, but I do not see any scripts that is present on my PDI which uses the said field.

There is a rollup definition for the "Rack contains" relationship in the cmdb_rel_rollup table.
Information is available in docs:

Sadly no, not yet.
Only played with it in my dev instance.
