Use the room design toolbar to configure the room layout and ensure the layout in the data center model accurately represents the real-world physical environment of the room. This includes physical attributes of the room such as size, shape, rows, walls, and cages (co-lo).
You can toggle the room design mode by clicking this icon when you have selected Planning>Data Center, Planning>Asset Provisioning, or Planning>Device Association in the Application bar and have a room open in the layout.
- Modify the room shape.
For example to add an angle to an outer wall:- Select the corner tool in the toolbar.
The cursor icon now looks like this when you move it into the layout: - Click on a wall where you want to add the 2 new corners that will define where a new wall will begin and end.
- Select the resize tool in the toolbar.
The cursor icon changes into a double-headed arrow when you move it over a wall in the layout. -
Click the wall between the dots and drag the new wall into position.
- Select the corner tool in the toolbar.
-
Add inner walls or cages.
For example to add a new inner wall:-
Select the draw wall tool in the toolbar.
The cursor icon now looks like a plus and coordinate guides appear. - Click and drag in the layout where you want the new wall to be.
A new wall of the default type now appears in the layout. - If you want to change the wall type, right-click the wall and select Set Wall Preferences, then select a predefined standard wall type or select Properties, and set the width and type (mesh, solid, glass).
