Description

The Sentry PDUs were sorted between smart and switched PDUs, which doesn't reflect the ps1 (master) ps2 (link) status.
This make generating the LibreNMS report more difficult, as there was no way to discern a device that has mgmt (and should be in LibreNMS, from one without mgmt.

I added the exact models, first from what the managed devices reported on LibreNMS, plus on the new PDUs setup tasks.

All the models added are listed on https://netbox.wikimedia.org/dcim/device-types/?manufacturer=sentry

Here are all the devices that still report as Switch/smart PDUs: https://netbox.wikimedia.org/dcim/devices/?q=&device_type_id=65&device_type_id=66&status=1 (aka. TODO list) they contain hosts in both codfw and eqiad.
and should be sorted by existing or new models.

Not sure if relevant at the netbox level, but we have at least two different types/models of PDUs, namely those that expose the sentry3 SNMP MIB vs sentry4 (newer, PDUs in ulsfo and the new one in eqiad have this). HTH!

Now that the PDU migration in eqiad has been completed, all that's left in this task is to record and document the modles for:

eqiad's row D (rows A/B as well as C are all documented now)
codfw

This isn't super urgent, but has been pending since July and it'd be nice to finally wrap up (and I think it may be a fairly quick task?). @wiki_willy, thoughts?

@faidon - I'll check with the team on this one, and see if we can get an estimate for completion. Thanks, Willy

I'm not sure where the documentation needs to be updated, did you mean in netbox or in puppet?

If netbox do you mean the items with the generic 'Smart CDU' & 'Switched CDU' entries listed on https://netbox.wikimedia.org/dcim/device-types/?manufacturer=sentry ?

If puppet, not sure where other than the facilities init.pp file, and it only lists sentry4 due to the commands differing on those. (Just checking since not wholly sure what you mean us to update!)

In Netbox, Smart CDU & Switched CDU are generic Types. They should be replaced by the exact model.

I went digging in RT and fixed it for all of them except the old/unracked/offline sdtpa PDUs.
