When adding a server to DCImanager 6, you need to specify its platform type. For a rack server, the platform defines its size in units, for a blade server — the number of slots occupied in the chassis.

You can manage platforms in Equipment → Equipment type.

To create a platform for a rack server:

  1.   Enter Equipment → Equipment type → Server platforms → Create platform.
  2.   Specify the platform Name.
  3.   Select the platform Size in units.
  4.   Press Create.

To create a platform for a blade server:

  1.   Enter Equipment → Equipment types → Blade server platforms → Create a platform.
  2.   Specify the platform Name.
  3.   Select the platform Size in the chassis.
  4.   Press Create.

You can also add a platform on the server adding form.

To delete a platform, enter Equipment → Equipment types → select the platform →   Menu → Delete platform → Delete.

Note

You can delete a platform only if there are no servers with this platform type in DCImanager 6.
