I cannot find an horizontal blade genomes, is it possible to rotate a vertical blade?

DCIM_Support · ‎2020-07-02

I am trying to create some genomes for the Juniper SRX 5600, I have the blade enclosure set up but I cannot find any horizontal blades for it, nor can I change the orientation of a vertical blade. Any ideas?

thanks

Hello Dennis.

Blade/network chassis or the generic enclosure properties can be changed in your local genome library. Open the item properties, go to the Physical page, and make sure you've selected one of the "width" types (see circled section in the screenshot below).

You should then be able to drag blades into these slots which will orientate horizontally.

I got the chassis set up like that but I cannot find any blades to populate it with. I do not get the wide option for those.

thanks

The blades should orientate to the slots when you drag them into place. I'm able to drag a blade chassis with vertical and horizontal slots, then take the same blades and drag them to either. The blades/items you're dragging into the chassis must also include the chassis model in its family list. The family list can be edited in the blade general properties view. Regards Greg Sterling

I tried to add the chassis model to the blades family and I am not having any luck with that either.

Hi Dennis,

Similar to Grag's answer, you might want to try the following - Assuming that you are running DCO 7.5.

Go to Genome Library and add the following assets to your Genomes: "Generic Blade Enclosure" and "Generic Blade"

Configure the properties for both blade enclosure and blade(s) (in the Genomes).

As illustrated, my enclosure supports Half & Full width horizontal blade/bay type:

Kind regards
