Data Centers
Overview
Haystack defines the fundamentals for modeling data centers via the dataCenter
and rack
tags. Data centers are considered a specialized type of space
. Equipment and devices contained within the data center define their relationship to the data center via the spaceRef
tag.
Racks
Racks are modeled as specialized equip
with the rack
marker tag. The servers and networking gear contained by the rack declare their containment relationship via the equipRef
tag.
Examples
Here is a simple example for a data center containing one rack that contains one server:
id: @dc dis: "Simple Data Center" dataCenter space siteRef: @site id: @rack1 dis: "Rack-1" rack equip spaceRef: @dc siteRef: @site id: @server-1A dis: "Rack-1 Server-A" server computer device rackRef: @rack1 spaceRef: @dc siteRef: @site
