Visio Stencils

ColdCanuk — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 14:53:56 GMT

Anyone know where I can get Visio shapes for HP devices? I've trolled the various free sites long enough to get irritated and thought trolling the HP site would have been simpler.

/me wonders if its too early to go grab a whiskey!?

Hi,

As far as I know the site with the biggest choice is http://www.visiocafe.com/

I was afraid someone would reply with Visiocafe :(

I decided to use Metaswitch's stencils and then just label it "HP Switch" :P

I am soory that my answer doesn't like you, I can find anything that I need (servers, storage) on that site...

Maybe you should have been more specific in what you are searching for?

I hope you meant "trawling the HP site" rather than "trolling the HP site"!

But back on topic, as far as I know, Visio is the only official tool for which shapes (server, storage, networking, etc) are provided. Maybe there is a FOSS equivalent of Visio that will enable you do generate the required diagrams? Visiocafe is the source of all HP shapes, and it seems to be updated often enough.

Any time i have to search for anything on the HP web site, i feel like trolling AND whiskey. :-)

Tip: use Google or DuckDuckGo with site:hp.com and your keywords rather than trying to use HP's search tools.

There were some officially released HP Visio templates a while back, but i think that was pre-3Com. I'd assume they kept updating them, but i can't confirm because i don't use Visio.

VisioCafe is the official place to get your HP stencils...

Updated regularly (includes 3Com & 3par & H3C) and I can't think of any shapes you would need that aren't listed...
