2 Post racks with shared PDUs

This question was originally posted on DCIM Support by Jim Roberts on 2017-10-02


We have a row of 2 post racks. The vertical PDUs are mounted in-between each of the racks. Essentially the racks are "sharing" PDUs. What is a good way for placing the PDUs in DCO, so that equipment in the racks can have their power associated to the correlating PDU. We cannot find a way to map power to a PDU in another rack.

A quirky workaround that I've found works, is if you place a PDU in one rack, make all your power connections, then "move" the PDU to another rack, you can then make power connections to the equipment in that rack.  As far as I've seen with DCO 8.1, the PDU retains the power connections even after you move it to a new rack.  You will get recommendations/warnings that one of your racks is without a rack PDU and the equipment is fed from a PDU outside the rack, but I just ignore them.  Also, you will need to move it back to the other rack anytime you add equipment to the rack that DCO thinks is without a PDU.

Hi JIm

AFAIK this is not possible.  If the power path is critical, you could work around by modelling each rPDU as 2 rPDUs but  this has obvious downsides.  I also suggest u add a feature request

Cheers

I would like to advise against taking recommendations so lightly, most of them are there in order to aid you getting the setup in a state where DCO will work correctly; in other words, if you do not fix these recommendations some parts of DCO will not work as they should - DCO is basically telling you the same thing as Ed said: this setup is not supported!

If all you care about is the asset management and do not have the all the more advance additional features/licenses then this setup will probably work for you.

BUT if you have the full DCO featureset and care about the more advanced features then this setup is very likely going to be painful to use.

Regards Gert
