Asset tag remaining cablemgmt in eqiad
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Per conversation with @Cmjohnson on IRC last week (and also back in April):

  • cablemgmt-eqiad- A7, B7, C3-C7, D1-D8 are the very last active assets that have no asset tag assigned to them.
  • This has been the case for a few months now. It has also been showing up as an outlier/error in reports etc. for a long time now.
  • These are 2U cable managers that are slated to be replaced with 1U cable managers (hence the delay in asset-tagging them). That has been the plan for months now, but it's a low priority task and trumped by the backlog in the site, and as such there is no specific timeline for it.
  • Asset tagging the existing 2U cable managers (15 in total) should be a quick and easy task: slap a few stickers, update Netbox to record the asset tag, and also rename the objects to cablemgmt-wmfNNNN.
  • Whether asset tagging cable managers is a good idea is not obvious or clear. However, given all the other cablemgmt both in eqiad, and all other sites have asset tags, and that it's a few minutes of work to complete this, the consensus was to just do it :)

TL;DR let's asset-tag these 15 cable managers ASAP :)

asset tags have been added to all and netbox updated

Some of these were not done - I suspect partially because my ranges were misparsed as individual items (should had made that clearer, apologies!). The following are still missing asset tags:

  • cablemgmt-eqiad-C4
  • cablemgmt-eqiad-C5
  • cablemgmt-eqiad-C6
  • cablemgmt-eqiad-D1
  • cablemgmt-eqiad-D2
  • cablemgmt-eqiad-D3
  • cablemgmt-eqiad-D4
  • cablemgmt-eqiad-D5
  • cablemgmt-eqiad-D6
  • cablemgmt-eqiad-D7

Yes, I misread the task....I will update and resolve once completed

@faidon All should have asset tags now and netbox updated.
