NetBox version

v3.3.1

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Mark front, rear, or full rack units as unusable with a description, contributing towards rack utilization and preventing device installs in these locations.

I would imagine the simplest implementation would be to extend rack reservations with a full/partial depth option as described in #9090, as well as adding some form of Unusable boolean to the reservation.

Use case

Devices such as DC fuse/breaker panels will often have rigid cables hang below the unit requiring that nothing be installed below it. These cables have essentially no depth and won't affect installing gear behind it in a cabinet.

Database changes

Add boolean column to rack reservations table to identify a reservation as unusable
Add rack depth column to rack reservations to match existing Device rack depth functionality

External dependencies

None
