Enclosure Page

The concept of an Enclosure was create so that multi-node machines can be handled accordingly in Orthos 2. This means that a single physical chassis has one or more exchangable bays that can accomodate physical servers. An example of such a system would Fujitsu Primergy Blade Servers where one chassis can take a dozen (or more) blades.

List View

Orthos2 Enclosure List View

This page will show a list of all enclosures and allow you to delete individual servers if desired. The quick filter allows you to display only servers of a specific Platform. The green plus button on the top right can be used to navigate to the add view.

Add View

Orthos2 Add Enclosure

The add view is reused to edit enclosures as well and takes the name, NetBox ID and optionally a Platform and Description. In case the NetBox ID is different to zero, Orthos 2 will try to fetch the location and description from a NetBox “Device” object. In case the containing Orthos 2 Machines are NetBox “Virtual Machines”, please use the ID of the NetBox “Device” which hosts the cluster. If a NetBox Virtual Machine Cluster consists of multiple host nodes, this mapping will not make sense anymore and it is better to leave the NetBox ID at its default of zero.
