Working with the Genome Library and genomes

Genome updates for ITA are available on the EcoStruxure IT Entitlements portal for customers with a valid software support contract. How to update the Genome Library in ITA IT Advisor includes a built-in Genome Library and a customizable list of genomes to use in your data center infrastructure. ITA_genomes_360038496753.png Genome Library The Genome Library is a read-only collection of available products you can select from and add to the customizable list of genomes to use in your data center infrastructure, provided you have the necessary user rights. The Genome Library database is extended with thousands of additional measured server power profiles, storage and switch specifications, and much more. This continuously growing asset library enables IT Advisor to determine power consumption without the aid of hardware sensors. You can open the Genome Library and drag and drop equipment directly into your customizable list of genomes. Genomes Genomes is an editable list of selected products you can use in your data center infrastructure. You can right-click to add, rename, or delete categories and to copy or delete products. Multiple users can apply changes to the genomes at the same time. The Genomes pane lists all available equipment and allows you to add floor and rack-mountable equipment to a rack or any type of room. Dynamic search allows you start typing in the Search box, the list shows all equipment that contains the typed characters. Creating the list of Genomes Configure the list of genomes to contain the floor and rack-mountable equipment to add to the data center infrastructure. Adding categories and products Select Planning>Data Center in the Application bar. Access the Genome Library through Tools > Open Genome Library or the Open Genome Library icon in the Toolbar. Drag and drop a product or category from the library to the Genomes pane (or right-click and select Add to Genomes). The products are placed in the same structure as in the library. If you need a new sub category, right-click a category in Genomes and select Add category. Editing categories and products Right-click a category in Genomes to add, rename, or delete categories. Right-click a product to copy or delete products. Drag and drop products and categories if you want to restructure the list. If a product does not exist in the Genome Library... Customizing an existing product You can use the generic components to configure a product that does not exist in the Genome Library. For example, use the Generic Switch Enclosure and Generic Switch Module to configure a modular switch that does not exist in the Genome library yet or a Generic Rack to configure a non-standard size rack, such as half size. To add a half size rack: Right-click a Generic rack type in Genomes. Select Properties and modify the size, name, etc. Requesting support for a not yet supported product You can request support for any products in your data center that you cannot currently find in the Genome Library. Fill in the request form, adding details about the device, such as type, model, vendor.

There are two ways to get genome updates: update your ITA software which includes a genome update; or download a genome update zip file and apply it to ITA using the desktop client.   To apply a genome update in the ITA desktop client:   Download the latest genome update zip file from EcoStruxure IT Entitlements, available with a valid support contract. The Genome Library update feature in ITA uses the downloaded zip file as it is; you are not expected to unzip it. Open the ITA desktop client and log in as an administrator. Go to Tools > Preferences > Genome Library. Click Apply update file…  ITA_genome_download_360008471857.jpg Click Browse. go to the location of the downloaded genome zip file, and select it. Click Next and follow the instructions.

When you add equipment to the floor and rack layouts, you might find that the product you want to add to your data center model doesn't exist as a standard component in the system's Genome Library yet. The Genome Library is a public generic library that contains thousands of measured server power profiles, and storage and switch specifications. It is continuously growing, but it doesn't include all products on the market as soon as they are released, so some products may not be in the database yet. You might need a genome that is slightly different from one in the library. In this case, you can create a new genome with more precise information in your local genomes. Creating new genomes based on generic components You can use the generic components to configure a product that does not exist in the Genome Library. For example, some network and compute units are not included in the Genomes yet. Use the generic network and switch components as templates and customize the properties to match your product: To add network products, use: Generic Switch Enclosure Generic Switch Module To add blade products, use: Generic Blade Enclosure Generic Blade To add other not yet supported equipment, use for example: Gap (items over which cables and cooling lines can be routed (such as a walkway or ramp) Block (solid items over which cables and cooling lines cannot be routed (such as a support column) You can also use the generic components to configure custom equipment, such as half size racks and other custom solutions. Importing genomes You can import genomes into your local genomes. You might find this useful when you edit existing custom genomes. Select Planning > Data Center in the Application bar. Select File > Import > Genomes. In the Open dialog box that appears, browse to, and select the file (*.cat format provided by Schneider Electric). 102237248_360038495433.png
