This topic describes how to add components to an existing rack
in IBM® Director.
Complete the following steps to add components to an existing
rack:
- In the left pane of the Topology view of the Rack Manager window,
expand the Floor tree.
- Drag a managed system or device onto a rack. If the
inventory-collection function of IBM Director does
not recognize the managed system or device, a message is displayed, asking
whether you want to associate the managed system or device with a predefined
component. Click OK.
- In the Associate window, expand the applicable tree and click
the predefined component type that most closely resembles the managed system
or device in size.
- Click OK. The properties of the component that was associated
with that managed system or device are displayed in the lower-right pane.
- From the left pane, drag the managed system or device onto a
rack. The managed system or device is displayed in the right pane as a component
in the rack.
- (Optional) In the left pane, select the Components view
from the list.
- Expand the applicable category of components.
- Drag the predefined component onto a rack in the right pane. The
component is displayed in the rack.
