Same as the title.

Please raise a PR for to fix this issue or explain what needs to be changed so someone else can create a PR for it.

I'm making device-type yaml, but I'm confusing how the relation and describing of the power module and power tray.

From ref.[2]:

The chassis has four power trays. The version 2 power system has four AC or DC power modules in each power tray. The version 3 power system has three AC power modules or four DC power modules in each power tray.

• Cisco ASR 9922 chassis has the such as Power-bays in my guess.
• A Power-tray can be housed in a Power-Bay, and Chassis could have multi Power-Trays.
• Multi Power Modules could be housed in a Power Tray.

I feel it's difficult to represent the above Power Trays and Power modules, using power-ports in device-type yaml.

Hi @segachan
The correct way for this to be modeled, is the added them as module-bays on the device. Then create the required AC and DC PSUs as a module. Then in netbox you can install the required module into the module-bays and it will give you the power ports in that exist on those modules

Hi @harryajc Thank you for your reply.

Hi @segachan The correct way for this to be modeled, is the added them as module-bays on the device. Then create the required AC and DC PSUs as a module. Then in netbox you can install the required module into the module-bays and it will give you the power ports in that exist on those modules

I'm trying to use module-bays feature.
Power Tray's number should be placeholed, and the Power Module's number should be also placeholded.
And Power Module is inserted to Power tray, and Power Tray is inserted to Chassis.

• Cisco ASR9922 Chassis
  • Power Tray 0
    • Power Module 0 : PT0/M0
    • Power Module 1 : PT0/M1
    • Power Module 2 : PT0/M2
    • Power Module 3 : PT0/M3
  • Power Tray 1
    • Power Module 0 : PT1/M0
    • Power Module 1 : PT1/M1
    • Power Module 2 : PT1/M2
    • Power Module 3 : PT1/M3
  • Power Tray 2...

https://netboxlabs.com/docs/netbox/en/stable/release-notes/version-4.1/
It seems that Nested Device Modules is supported.

How can I model two levels of nested relationships using placeholders?

I'm trying to mode the 9922 yaml and Power Tray yaml, Power Entry Module yaml, like below:
First, the snippet of modeled yaml for 9922:

module-bays:
  - name: 0/PT{module}
    label: 0/PT0
    position: 0
    description: Power Module Slot

Second, I'm trying to model the Power Tray A9K-AC-PEM-V3 like below:

---
manufacturer: Cisco
model: A9K-AC-PEM-V3
slug: A9K-AC-PEM-V3
part_number: A9K-AC-PEM-V3
module-bays:
  - name: 0/PT{module}
    label: 0/PT
    position: 0

Third, I'm trying to model the Power Module PWR-6KW-AC-V3 like below:

---
manufacturer: Cisco
model: PWR-6KW-AC-V3
part_number: PWR-6KW-AC-V3
comments: 6000W AC Power for ASR-9922
power-ports:
  - name: PS-{module}
    type: iec-60320-c20
    maximum_draw: 6000

Hi @segachan

Yes that would be correct with 4 module-bays within that power tray. Yes nested modules are supported as of 4.1 and are also now supported by this repository.

[segachan]

Hi @harryajc

Let me share the three yaml files.
I can't see the four Power Entry Module on Power Tray, using Netbox v4.1.
Did I miss something?

Four module-bays is not displed at 0/PT2 or A9K-AC-PEM-V3 module, on netbox GUI.
I could not make multi Power Module, could make only one Power Module inside the Power Tray.

Did I miss something to use GUI or misstake to make the yaml?
