Originally created by @gtherond on GitHub (Nov 23, 2022).

NetBox version

v3.3.3

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Implement ability to create various environments such as PROD/STAGING/DEVS.

Use case

Many companies distinguish hardware between various environment even on the same location/rack or DC.

According to those environment, the hardware do keep the naming convention of the production and is only distinguished from prod by various elements such as IPs, subdomain variation on FQDN or simply OS hostnamectl environment tag.

As for now, we can't get multiple environment easily on DCIM as a device with a non-unique name located on the same tenant/rack can't be added.

If there is another DCIM way to do that please let me know, but for now there is nothing on the documentation regarding this topic to my knowledge.

Database changes

device name should be allowed do be duplicated.
introduce a environment (table?/row?) concept.

External dependencies

none

Nope, even using tags, when you try to put two servers named the same way on the same rack or location netbox throw away an exception about duplicated name.
