Peter,

You can also map location A to location B using the config file - if they are not consistent with what you want, but they are consistent in their own way and you can do static mapping you'd be saved I think:

$config['location_map']['Main Datacenter'] = "Big Datacenter, 16 Shrimponthebarbiestreet, Melbourne, Ozzieland";

for my part, i have the same problem - as the comms people use their own
conventions in sysLocation (if they use it at all). so pushing updates to
devices isn't always the answer.

so i don't control the cisco devices. i do the iDRACs, but they don't use
sysLocation.

I updated the locations as i slowly added the devices on, to reduce the
work load, but i always wanted a script. useful for adding on adding a new
physical site.

Neither the webui nor the console menu system is fun for 300+ PDUs. :)

If these were server nodes, I'd just use salt to update the location by
cluster. With network devices we can push it using rancid. With the
PDUs...we're stuck.

It is possible to push configs to APC PDUs by ftp, and this
person has used it with rancid...

I don't use that with rancid myself, but I have pushed configs to
my PDUs with ftp (for syslog).
