 5. Activating the Auto-Generated Rack View

First, ensure that the device is included in a location. Then follow these steps to make devices visible in Datacenter View.

  1. Edit the device you want to make visible. From the list of Devices, select a device (in the illustration, beta.zenoss.loc), click Details, and then select Edit.

  2. Enter values for Rack Slot, in the format:

    ru=n,rh=n,st=n

    where:

    • ru=n sets the value for rack unit (the lowest unit used by the device)

    • rh=n sets the value for rack height (the number of units the device uses in the rack)

    • st=n sets the value for rack slot

    • sc=n sets the value for slot capacity (set only for chassis devices)

    For example, values of:

    ru=2,rh=1

    establishes a device visually in the rack as shown in this illustration:

    Note

    In the example, a rack slot value is not needed, as there is only one device.

  3. Click Save.

The device appears in Datacenter View. In the List View, it appears as part of a rack illustration. (The rack illustration is now the default image in the List View.)

In the Custom View, it appears as a single device image.

Note

You can customize this device image by modifying the zIcon configuration property in the device class.
