Device Tenants as namespaces

[pwinkeler]

In our datacenter we have quite a few tenants with equipment racks who are not very imaginative. This they all refer to their firewall pairs as FW-1 and FW-2. This is a problem as NetBox requires device names to be unique. I have been thinking that this could be solved if device name uniqueness included a reference to the assigned Tenant. Sort of like VRFs but for devices?

i gues this is in place

Constraint “dcim_device_unique_name_site_tenant” is violated.
