New functionality

Proposed functionality

Hi,

It doesn't appear that there is a currently a way to show the servers which are attached to external storage.

What I would like to propose is a way to show this, in particular on the rack layout page. Essentially, what this needs is a line from a server to another device on the rack diagram page.

Can you advise if this might be possible or another way we can represent this information on netbox.

Many thanks,

Use case

This would allow the users to visualize via the rack layout page all those servers which are attached to external storage.

The rack elevation view is exactly that: a visual representation of the arrangement of devices within a rack. It intentionally does not show any connections, so I'm afraid this feature request must be declined.
