Re: patch pannel management

Hi there, 

 

i m trying to create a CMDB for datacenter management; 

i'm on the patch pannels,and i would need a han on how i create these, 

i got this kind of map 

 

Service ------ Switch ----- Patch-Pannel ------ Client's Rack

service = Internet, VLan etc .... 

switch : VLAN = 2 or more ports 

patch-Pannel = 1 or more ports from switch to 1 port on Client's Rack

Client's = 1 or more patches from patch pannel 

 

 

so how do i creat an attribute that is some sort of patch pannel, for switch and rack 

and how do i creat a class patch pannel ? 

 

these are relation tables kind of. 

 

Regards;

Edouard

Usually we model these kind of situations using the domains attributes.
We create for example a domain N:N between the classes “Switch” and “PatchPanel” with the attribute “PortNumber” (and if needed “CableColor”) and so we can describe all connections (even multiple) between these two classes.
For creating classes and domains with relations you can see the CMDBuild Administrator Manual (pages 18-30 and 37-40).
