  • Lawrence - confirm with Daniel the maintenance of OpenDCIM
  • Lawrence - work with Graham to update the OpenDCIM data
  • Anthony - discuss OpenDCIM with Devon (including power management, etc)
    • OpenDCIM time consuming for wide varieties of hardware (need to define a template per unique piece)
    • Possibly simpler to build the functionality we want into Inventory (power tracking etc.), but this requires investing in Inventory

  • Clayton - document process of adding hosts to AD and move to a generally accessible place * keytab work * 4.13 auto updates of Samba causing issues. Currently pinned.
