When I started in the “Technology” department at my current employer, I found myself apart of a team that was tasked with taking care of hundreds of IBM blade servers, and tens of other IBM system x servers. For the most part we could keep up with our servers by where they were in our monitoring software, but if we needed to know exactly where they were in either a blade center, by remote console name, or what Domain-0 they lived on for our Xen based virtual machines – we had to relate back to a usually out of date spreadsheet that showed where to go.
