Provisioning multiple servers with Tags

[DCIM_Support]

When I try to have DCO pick out server locations based on tags it works fairly well, at least for a single system at a time. But if I want to install multiple servers it will only place the first server based on tags, after that it seems to ignore the tags completely. I've tried this with strict tags, multiple tags, and different genomes. It works this way when I tell it to add multiple assets simultaneously, or if I try and add individual systems in sequence. The only way I've found to get the strict tag to start working again is to select a different genome.

Also, is there a simple way to find where DCO has placed assets when installing multiples? It runs through the placement and only shows me the location of the initial server. I have to then go into the equipment browser and look for models that haven't been updated with serial numbers and barcodes to find them.

Hi Sam,
I'm currently working on this case and it seems you are right and the asset provisioning for multiple devices with tags does not work properly (as you've described). I will report this as a software bug.
I'm not aware of a simple way to find the location of the multiple provisioned assets, but it sounds like a fine feature request to be registered in our system. The following page contains the form for Feature Requests: Product feedback
However as you've mentioned, the "Equipment Browser" is defiantly a good choice, and by filtering or sorting for example by device "Name" and or the "Installation Date" the location of the devices can be found very easily.
Thanks.
