How to add a rack? about ralph HOT 6 CLOSED

I think you can add racks from "Admin>Discovery>Devices>Add>input device name etc."
Then select "Admin>cmdb>cis>device you create>select type as rack"

There is no 'rack' type in "Admin/cmdb/cis/device"
So I dont understand how to add new rack, could you clarify, please?

from ralph.

Here is I did;

1. Go to Admin > Discovery > Device models, create Datacenter model, choose Device Type as a datacenter
2. Go to Admin > Discovery > Device models, create Rack model, choose Device Typeas a Rack
3. Go to Admin > Discovery > Device, create device, chose Model as a datacenter you created previously
4. Go to Admin > Discovery > Device, create device, chose Model as a Rack you created

Thanks. I repeated your steps and now can see datacenter and rack in Racks tab. But I find this way rather counterintuitive in comparison to racktables)

I have tried to follow these steps, but it requires a service to save successfully. What is the service it's asking for. I have defined one in the ralph assets section of the admin page but it is not available in the drop down menu in Admin > Discovery > Add device > Service ???

Never mind, I found the fix. #1250
