Originally created by @Farataa on GitHub (Aug 4, 2016).

At present we can set only one state for device:

  • None
  • Parent
  • Child

Some devices can be parent and child at one time. For example

  • Blade chassis is a Parent.
  • Blades is a Child for chassis and a Parent for virtual machines
  • Virtual machine is a Child on the blade.

Is possible to add Parent/Child state for device?

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Aug 4, 2016):

A device represents a piece of physical equipment. NetBox does not currently support the concept of a virtual machine. It wouldn't make sense to use the parent/child relationship anyway, since it employs a fixed number of discrete device bays, which aren't applicable to VMs running on a hypervisor.
