DCO 8 Asset Provisioning Advisor

Hi Team!

Teach me how to cook with new advisor, please. 😀

When I'm select device from catalog and want to add it to selected rack it says that rack is not support my device. Rack in layout is red:

I've added device to the rack and want to add one more. Advisor says that rack is suitable but still red in layout:

 

Now I've add second device and rack become green. Halleluya! 😀

 

What I'm doing wrong?

The advisor is a feature which has been around since version 4.2, so I am a bit surprised you are referring to it as "new". That said, it has changed over the years and it has been tweaked a bit in 8.0.

It has to operating modes:

1) advising for the best rack to place a server

2) just adding things were you want them to go.

 

To get it run in mode (1) you need to select "Best Rack" in the "Add Asset" section, and once you have filled in the requirements for the new server it will select the best rack to place the server, something it will do once you hit the add button.

In case you wonder why a rack is red (or yellow) hovering over it with the mouse will tell you why in the tool tip.

 

You might want to check out the documentation:

Finding the best location for a new server

 

Since you have selected "Selected Racks" you have switched it to mode (2), and by doing so you not only lost the possibility to specify the server requirements, you are also overwriting the best location selection engine, which is not a interned usage (when adding a server) and can thus result in a confusing behavior - if you already know where you want the server it would be simpler to just drag it from the genomes.

 

In the example below (running i "Best Rack" mode) i have clicked on the "Show location" in order to see where it going to place the server (and all is green), but placed the mouse over a red rack and the tool-tip shows why it is red (my requirement was a 2N redundancy, but that rack does not support 2N).

 

Regards,

Gert
