Map Data Center Rack configuration

A Data Center with its racks and servers can be mapped out by going to the Data Center’s GV GUARDIAN page.

On the GV GUARDIAN home page, under Grass Valley click Data Center Map. A Data Center consists of zero or more rows of racks, a rack consists of zero or more components, and a component consists of zero or more hosts.
To add a row, type the row index in the input box on the bottom left and click Add row.
To add racks to the row, click Add new rack.
Fill out information about the rack as follows:
- Rack Index: The position of rack in the row. This setting is optional.
- Name: Appears as a label above the rack.
- Rack Height: The number of rack units in the rack.
Click Add Rack.
Use the buttons above the rack as desired:
- Modify rack
- Delete rack
Click Add new component to add components to the rack.
Fill out information about the component as follows:
- Component Name: The name displayed for the component.
- Component Position: Specifies the upper most slot of where the component exists in the rack. A rack’s slots count from the bottom up.
- Component Size: The number of slots down the component occupies from the component’s position.
- Hosts: Specifies which hosts are associated with this component. To add a host, select the host in the drop-down list and click Add.
