====== Datacenter Devices ======
TeemIP's Datacenters Devices Management module relies on iTop's Datacenters Devices Management module that has been slightly adapted to integrate with TeemIP's specific IP objects. For a comprehensive reference to that iTop source module, please, refer to the [[https://www.itophub.io/wiki/page?id=3_1_0:datamodel:itop-datacenter-mgmt|Datacenter Management Module]] chapter in iTop wiki.

The Datacenter Devices that have been modified by TeemIP are:

^  Class of CIs  ^  Icon  ^  Description  ^
|  Enclosure  |  {{icons8-enclosure-for-servers.png}}  | An Enclosure is a cabinet generally fitted with doors and side panels. Enclosures may contain baffles, fans, and other features. Then can be mounted inside a Rack or directly fitted on the wall. |
|  PDU  |  {{icons8-plug-socket.png}}  | A PDU (Power Distribution Unit) is a device fitted with multiple outputs designed to distribute electric power, especially to racks of computers and networking equipment located within the datacenter. |
|  Power Source  |  {{icons8-electricity.png}}  | A Power Source is used to document in iTop any kind of power source (main power inlet, breaker…) that is not a PDU. |
|  Rack  |  {{icons8-rack.png}}  | A computer Rack is a metal frame used to hold various hardware devices such as servers, hard disk drives, other electronic equipment. |

Two attributes have been added to all these classes.

^  Name  ^  Type  ^  Mandatory?  ^
| IP Address | Foreign key to a(n) IPv4 or IPv6 Address | No |
| MAC address | Formated alphanumeric string | No |


Upon creation or modification, an IP Address attribute can be set as a foreign key to an IP address. A drop-down box will list a choice of available IP addresses.
<note>
  * According to the **Allow attachment of already allocated IPs to CIs** parameter defined in the [[2_x:datamodel:ip-settings|Global IP Settings]] of the IP's organization:
    * Only addresses which status is //**released**// or //**unassigned**// (i.e. not allocated nor reserved) will be offered,
    * Or
    * Only addresses which status is //**allocated**//, //**released**// or //**unassigned**// (i.e. not reserved) will be offered,
  * Status of IP is automatically changed when IP is attached to the data centre device or removed from it,
  * If enabled through IP settings, CI name is copied into IP short name.
</note>

<note tip>
MAC addresses can be entered following 01:23:45:67:89:ab or 01-23-45-67-89-ab or 0123.4567.89ab format but are displayed according to the **MAC Address Output Format** parameter defined in the [[2_x:datamodel:ip-settings|Global IP Settings]] of the CI's organization.
