I can reproduce this error. Drag&drop works when moving a host into an
enclosure but not when moving an enclosure into a rack. This will be fixed

in the next version.

Rack types, or more correctly enclosure types, are defined in the
database and there is (yet) no GUI interface to define new enclosure
types or edit existing types. I've added a feature request to our
issue tracker for this but it might be a while till it gets
implemented.

 

Meanwhile if you let us know the specs for your racks (the 47U
specifically) I can add them to the predefined racks.

The Hardware infos for the host are shown as tooltip when you hover
over the host in the TreeView on the left. You have configured one of
the hardware properties differently to what was detected at boot and
comparing the tooltip to the config should show the difference.

 

Alternatively you can select the host in the TreeView, open the
Hardware Wizard (Manage Hosts -> Hardware Wizard), click "Selected"
and follow the wizard to reconfigure the host.
