Equipment racks (including those for servers, PDUs, telecom equipment, etc.) require unique identifiers based primarily on the rack's physical location. Rack names are divided into three segments with the segments separated by hyphens. Since rack names are based on the rack's location, a rack name could change in the event the rack is moved from one physical location to another. Rack names follow the form of:
{data_center}-{zone}-{identifier}Where:
{data_center} | A code representing the standard UCI abbreviation for the data center or computer room in which the rack is located. All data centers and computer rooms have a unique identifier. See the list below for acceptable data center codes. |
|---|---|
{zone} | A code indicating the unique space identified for the room or area where the rack is located. If the zone has a room number that defines the entire zone then that room number should be used. If the rack is located in a room that is divided into several smaller areas then use a code that indicates in which area in the room the rack is located. See below for a list of valid zone codes when a room number is not an appropriate choice to indicate the zone. |
{identifier} | An identifier that is unique to the rack within the data center and zone where the rack is located. The identifier can be any combination of characters, numbers, or symbols but should be kept fairly simple in order to keep the complete rack name easy to manage. |
Data Center Codes
Only data center codes from the following list should be used when generating rack names:
OITDC | OIT Data Center at Engineering Gateway |
ADC | Aldrich Hall Data Center |
| CPDC | Central Plant Data Center |
SLDC | Science Library Data Center |
| SDSC | San Diego Supercomputer Center |
Code | Data Center |
|---|
Zone Codes
Only zone codes from the following list should be used when a room number is not appropriate for a rack name:
| Code | Zone |
|---|---|
SSP | Secure Server area in the OIT Data Center at Engineering Gateway |
CORE | Core Server area in the OIT Data Center at Engineering Gateway |
| ALH/115ALH115 | Room 115 at Aldrich Hall |
| EG/1141EG1141 | Room 1141 at Engineering Gateway |
| ROWx | A Row of racks with x being the row designation. |
Equipment Rack CI Name Examples
The following are examples of CI names that have been standardized using the conventions described above.
Rack Name | Description |
|---|---|
OITDC-CORE-J31 | Rack J31 located in the core zone of the OIT Data Center at Engineering Gateway. |
ADC-MAIN-B | Rack B located in the main zone of the Aldrich Hall Data Center. |
| CPDC-ROWA-01 | Rack 01 located in Row A at the Central Plant Data Center. |
