oups i want say, the value couldnt be negative. But limit to the Nb unit of the rack. 1 to NbUnit but the value can be a range. 1 to 6. some device can be in the same unit. one on Fonrt and one on Rear.

If custom fields are exposable in the REST WS, i'm ok. I purpose this feature for all other datacenter admin :) in my case, i've 180 rack with 42 U, i need to know where is all empty Unit.

You closed the ticket 1653 for duplicate with this one, it's not the same thnig but we can merge ;) I need the Unit location of each enclosure, server and network hardware. A server can use the U38 to U42. Another can use juste U01. And with the Unit number you already have on the rack, we can compute the occupation percent. 42 on the rack. and a server on U41&U42, a switch on U30-REAR, another switch on U01-FRONT, we can evaluate than the rack is occupied by (2+0.33+0.33) / 42 = 6.33%

On a server, i want define where is locate the hardware on the rack. It's placed on the Front of the rack only, or it use all space (Rear, middle and front) or it's a back hardware locate on Rear and middle. With 3 checkbox we can define space allocated, and this 3 checkbox (space allocated) are easy to transforme in boolean value for the REST WS.

hi, with a three specific checkbox we can standardized this usage and expose them with a binary number between 000 and 111. It's seem to be better than an additionnal note with lot of infomation already fielled.
