doc rest api _ asset creation in rack

[DCIM_Support]

I'm trying to create this kind of server:

"type": "server-genome", "id": "ddbfb9ba-0dfb-4406-86c2-a5fae330d12d", "description": "Dell PowerEdge R720", "manufacturer": "Dell", "partNumber": null, "modelName": "PowerEdge R720", "width": 444, "height": 89, "depth": 723, "weight": 29166, "mountTypes": [ "RACK_MOUNTABLE" ], "unitHeight": 2, "nameplatePowerDraw": 1100

in a generic rack:

"type": "rack", "parentId": "54692dd1-1444-4068-b2f3-17e8183e9d23", "children": [], "navigationPath": null, "customProperties": null, "customPropertyTemplates": null, "accessType": "EDIT", "parentType": "storage", "name": "", "installDate": 1521812796923, "shape": [ { "x": 0, "y": 0 }, { "x": 600, "y": 0 }, { "x": 600, "y": 300 }, { "x": 0, "y": 300 }, { "x": 0, "y": 0 } ], "clearance": null, "positionTopLeftX": 0, "positionTopLeftY": 0, "orientation": 0, "cageId": null, "deviceLinks": null, "width": 600, "depth": 300, "barcode": null, "serialNumber": null, "modelName": "Generic Rack", "manufacturer": "Generic", "partNumber": "GEN_RACK", "partNumberId": -308, "weight": 10000, "description": "", "height": 300, "availableUHeight": 6, "maxWeight": 15000, "ductHeight": 0, "ductToCeiling": false, "designPowerLimit": null, "floorMounted": {}, "positionsOrderFromBottomToTop": true, "positionsCountedFromZeroIndex": false, "id": "94fa783e-ddca-4739-93c6-1bc7060e5deb", "stage": "EXISTING"

but this is the response:

 Adding assets to this asset is not supported

Could you give me any hint?

thanks in advance

Hi Lucama,

Seems to be a mis-configuration issue, as illustrated in the asset-id field insert the id of the rack, and in the assetCreationV0 filed, insert the id of server, and also make sure the "rackMountPostion" (such as FRONT_MOUNTED) and "uPosition" is defined:

It worked for me without any problem - I could easily add a server into a rack (located in a datacenter and/or in a storage room).

Kind regards

more or less is what I'm doing.

where asset-id is id of my rack, while in genomeId is the ho this genome:

"type": "server-genome",

    "id": "ddbfb9ba-0dfb-4406-86c2-a5fae330d12d",

    "description": "Dell PowerEdge R720",

    "manufacturer": "Dell",

    "partNumber": null,

    "modelName": "PowerEdge R720",

    "width": 444,

    "height": 89,

    "depth": 723,

    "weight": 29166,

    "mountTypes": [

      "RACK_MOUNTABLE"

    ],

    "unitHeight": 2,

    "nameplatePowerDraw": 1100

and response il always

{ "code": 100108, "message": "Adding assets to this asset is not supported", "details": "94fa783e-ddca-4739-93c6-1bc7060e5deb" }

thanks

Hi Lucama,

Issue seems to be the uPosition settings:

You need to define a non-zero uPosition number when adding a front mounted server.

Kind regards

Just looking at the rack and server size, could be because of the mismatch of rack and server depth:

The rack depth is depth": 300

The server depth is depth": 723, 

Perhaps try with a rack that has more depth?

ok, I've tried to add same server in another type of rack,

{ "type": "rack", "parentId": "54692dd1-1444-4068-b2f3-17e8183e9d23", "children": [], "navigationPath": null, "customProperties": null, "customPropertyTemplates": null, "accessType": "EDIT", "parentType": "storage", "name": "", "installDate": 1522305173854, "shape": [ { "x": 0, "y": 0 }, { "x": 600, "y": 0 }, { "x": 600, "y": 1070 }, { "x": 0, "y": 1070 }, { "x": 0, "y": 0 } ], "clearance": null, "positionTopLeftX": 0, "positionTopLeftY": 0, "orientation": 0, "cageId": null, "deviceLinks": null, "width": 600, "depth": 1070, "barcode": null, "serialNumber": null, "modelName": "Netshelter SX 42u 600mm Wide X 1070mm Deep Enclosure With Sides Black", "manufacturer": "APC", "partNumber": "AR3100", "partNumberId": -182, "weight": 125000, "description": "APC Netshelter SX 42u 600mm Wide X 1070mm Deep Enclosure With Sides Black", "height": 1990, "availableUHeight": 42, "maxWeight": 1363000, "ductHeight": 0, "ductToCeiling": false, "designPowerLimit": null, "floorMounted": {}, "positionsOrderFromBottomToTop": true, "positionsCountedFromZeroIndex": false, "id": "77e91c88-96f7-47e1-b2bb-4e4b6c386619", "stage": "EXISTING" }

but I've same result.

Unfortunately is a generic error, so I can't immediatly find  the root error cause

thanks

Just sanity check, can you confirm on Uposition settings per Jef Faridi's comment above?

e.g use "uPosition":1 instead of "uPosition":0

Your rack counted U space from position 1, based on:

"positionsCountedFromZeroIndex": false,

A screen shot of your Post parameters will help.
