Rack positioning

Pber — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 17:19:52 GMT

I'm trying to position racks within a datacenter. It works fine with racks that are positioned with an angle of 0 or 180 degrees.

I have a row that runs perpendicular to the rest that I'm trying to position either at 90 or 270 degrees. This does not work. The image rotates as expected, but when positioning the rack it still thinks the rack is not rotated and complains about overlap.So I have to leave large gaps between my racks or stagger them like a zig zag. See attached

Am I doing somethig wrong?

I'm using version 1.2 of OneView.

I just tried to do the same rack positioning as you did, and it appears to either be a bug or how rack positioning was designed. With the rack angle at either 90 or 180, it appears that you cannot put racks adjacent to each other.

Let me investigate this further and get back with you.

This is a defect. I would kindly ask that you open a support case regarding this issue.
