CMDB2 - what class for network hardware?
Hi guys. For those of you using CMDB 2, what classes are you using to store your network hardware (switches, routers, etc.).

Re: CMDB2 - what class for network hardware?
We're just planning to use Computer System for almost everything networking related. We will just use different categorizations to track it. -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Covert, Jack Sent: Monday, October 01, 2007 12:26 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: CMDB2 - what class for network hardware? ** Hi guys.

Re: CMDB2 - what class for network hardware?
Yeah, I thought of that. I'm surprised there is such a glaring hole in the CDM... I think I'd rather create a new class structure to capture this information...

Re: CMDB2 - what class for network hardware?
I believe in the CMDB 2.x best practices class they touch upon this item and recommend using the ComputerSystem class for tracking any networking HW with what Jarl has indicated below. We are in the process of using the mechanism recommended without creating our own classes, since this is an added overhead maintaining the system. However, there are couple of other areas where we have to use custom classes. I am not there yet in the implementation. -- Shyam - Original Message - From: Jarl Grøneng [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newsgroups: gmane.comp.crm.arsystem.general To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Monday, October 01, 2007 10:57 AM Subject: Re: CMDB2 - what class for network hardware?

Re: CMDB2 - what class for network hardware?
Hello, We also use the BMC_Computer class. One important reason for that is that, if you're using the discovery tools, these CIs will be discovered and placed into the Computer Class initially. Having a custom class will be painful for you, since you'll have to work around it to move those CIs between the classes.
