[zenoss-users] Storing rack information

[James Alspach]

I am not sure that this is the best way but, I store all the way out to
the rack, in the location.  I then use the slot for just the slot. So
one of my locations is 

/1644 magnolia/server room/bay 2

The servers in that bay will then all be assigned to a slot.

Fortunately we do not have cages to worry about on top of this but, I
suppose it would work the same way, just one more level.
