Recommendations are displayed in the Recommendation pane to guide you as you design the data center model.
It is not a goal in itself to clear all messages. It is, however, a goal to review your modeled design to make it reflect the real-world physical data center infrastructure as accurately as possible.
Message types and severities
- Some messages are related to the model alone. For example, a message will appear if a connection has not been configured in the model between a PDU and its power supply.
- Some messages are related to the model and the real-world physical data with which the model is associated. For example, a message will appear if the measured load of a real-world physical device exceeds the estimated load for the object it was designed to represent in the model.

- Some messages are more severe than others. For example, potential issues with the power design are assumed to be more severe than general issues. If there is both a power message and a general message for as piece of equipment, the power message is displayed in the layout.
