Datacenter Devices

TeemIp's Datacenters Devices Management module is 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 module, please, refer to the Datacenter Management Module chapter in iTop wiki.

Here below is the list of iTop CIs that have been modified by TeemIp.

Enclosure

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.

Enclosure Properties

Two attributes are added by TeemIP.

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.

Only addresses which status is released or unassigned (ie not allocated nor reserved) will be offered. Status of IP is automatically changed when IP is attached to an enclosure or removed from it.
MAC address can be entered following 01:23:45:67:89:ab or 01-23-45-67-89-ab or 0123.4567.89ab format but is displayed according to choice made in Global IP Settings for the organization.

PDU

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.

PDU Properties

Two attributes are added by TeemIP.

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.

Only addresses which status is release or unassigned (ie not allocated nor reserved) will be offered. Status of IP is automatically changed when IP is attached to a PDU or removed from it.
MAC address can be entered following 01:23:45:67:89:ab or 01-23-45-67-89-ab or 0123.4567.89ab format but is displayed according to choice made in Global IP Settings for the organization.

Power Source

A Power Source is used to document in iTop any kind of power source (main power inlet, breaker…) that is not a PDU.

Power Source Properties

Two attributes are added by TeemIP.

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.

Only addresses which status is release or unassigned (ie not allocated nor reserved) will be offered. Status of IP is automatically changed when IP is attached to a power source or removed from it.
MAC address can be entered following 01:23:45:67:89:ab or 01-23-45-67-89-ab or 0123.4567.89ab format but is displayed according to choice made in Global IP Settings for the organization.

Rack

A computer Rack is a metal frame used to hold various hardware devices such as servers, hard disk drives, other electronic equipment. The available space inside a Rack is mesured the unit “U” (One U corresponds to 1.75 inches of space between each hole on the metal strips on the sides for screwing the devices in place)

Rack Properties

Two attributes are added by TeemIP.

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.

Only addresses which status is release or unassigned (ie not allocated nor reserved) will be offered. Status of IP is automatically changed when IP is attached to a rack or removed from it.
MAC address can be entered following 01:23:45:67:89:ab or 01-23-45-67-89-ab or 0123.4567.89ab format but is displayed according to choice made in Global IP Settings for the organization.
