Thanks, Guillaume. That's a good suggestion. I'll have to give that some more thought.

In any case in CMDB 7.5, the Equipment class has no new attributes, only the ones from BaseElement. You can use the product categorization to define the types of equipment, with the specific attributes lumped together in the 'Additional Information' or 'CI Description' fields. Or you can create new attributes if needed. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) on behalf of Lyle Taylor Sent: Thu 11/19/09 2:30 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Tracking Power Equipment in CMDB Hi Guillaume, There actually is an Equipment class in 2.1. It doesn't have any added attributes, so it's no good for anything except for adding another category of classes... I would like to upgrade to 7.5, but it's not in the cards yet.

I see a class for UPSs, but nothing that cleanly matches the other items we'd like to track: * Power grid connection * Transfer switches * Power distribution units * Computer room air conditioners * Emergency power off switch Some of these seem like they could go into a subclass of Equipment (if there was one) or a subclass of HardwareSystemComponent, although there again, there don't appear to be any current subclasses that match any of these. So, I was wondering if anyone else had already tackled this problem and how you approached it. Any input would be appreciated.
