Child devices should not appear in the list of Non-Racked Devices (reopening)

[wols]

Environment

• Python version: 3.6.8
• NetBox version: 2.10.3

Proposed Functionality

1. create a parent
2. place the parent in a rack
3. create childs
4. "rack" the childs as an unracked devices
5. place the childs in parent bays

childs are racked (in bays of racked parent)

reopens #4595

Use Case

clear picture of reality:

• childs are module
• bays are slots
• parents are shelfs
• shelfs are in racks

modules are also in the rack

Database Changes

Are you saying child devices should not appear in the list of unracked devices because they are 'racked' inside a parent?

If you are, I'd agree with you. The unracked devices list should be there to list devices which are 0U devices and devices that do not have a U position recorded.

In a rack full of blade chassis, having many many blades shown in the unracked devices table is IMHO incorrect.

IMHO child devices (in rack) can be listed as "Non-Racked Devices" only if deattached from parent

[alanNutanix]

yet another agreement that child devices should not be shown in the non-racked device. (if and only if their parent device is racked.)

Still an issue in 2.10.6
