Administrative¶

Machines that are declared as administrative are machines that belong to the Orthos system and network management. These machines cannot be reserved by the user.

Enclosures¶

Under Enclosures the case (unit) is defined. A parent name for a unit with several devices can be defined. Several machines can then be assigned to the enclosure. If you create a machine object and you do not specify an enclosure, the name of the enclosure is formed from the FQDN of the machine.
