Need information on OOB CMDB tables that can hold information related to SFP(Small Form Factor Pluggable ) and PSU (Power Supply Units)

Hello everyone,

We have a requirement to get SFP(Small Form FactorPluggable ) and PSU (Power Supply Units) associated with IP Switches. 

Can you please guide me on which OOB cmdb tables I can utilize to enter the information associated with SFP's and PSU's.

They have serial numbers and  Vendor information.

Hi Srikanth,

In order to map it to the right class, you need to understand the characteristics of that device and then look for a matching class. 

For SFP I read this article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_form-factor_pluggable_transceiver) and I think for now the best fit is, 

cmdb_ci_comm(Communication Device)

Description: Communication devices information. A choice list containing devices such as cellphones, phones, conference phones, and Wi-Fi.

You may need to add one more item to the choice list.

For PSU, I would use one of these class

cmdb_ci_power_eq (Power Equipment)

Description: Hardware used to manage electrical power.

or

cmdb_ci_ups_power_eq (Uninterruptible Power Supply)

Description: Uninterrupted Power Supply devices, where devices are any non-traditional UPS devices that manage electrical power.

Hope it helps.
