<p>Hi Dani,</p>
<p>I’m currently working on development of a product that supports complex hardware solution design, resulting in ‘active diagrams’ having detailed knowledge of configured riser cards, adapters, processor trays, drive bays, physical cabling etc. It also then assists management of order fulfilment / equipment implementation activities and can update integrated monitoring & help desk / CMDB platforms.</p>
<p>http://www.arenacore.com</p>
<p>At this stage there is no specific OpenStack support (although I’m excited about OpenStack and working towards that), but the data centre context is specifically where ArenaCore is intended to used.</p>
<p>If you’re exploring this area, I’d be very interested in any comments or suggestions, particularly re equipment management in an OpenStack context?</p>
<p>Regards Evan</p>
<p>Please excuse the current website is a bit wordy – needs some pruning!</p>

Excellent input, please keep it going.

</div>Maybe someone from HP will shed more light on their cmdb?

<p>For text documentation that I manually create (chef for example does this automatically) I'll put in plaintext files per environment that includes basic stuff such as hostname, IP, and server function.</p>

Hi all,
<br />
<br />
</div>Can anyone who runs Openstack in a production environment/ data center share how you document the whole infrastructure, what tools are used for drawing diagrams(i guess you need some pictures otherwise is hard to understand it :)), maybe even an inventory etc?
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
</div>Thanks,
<br />Dani
