Overview

This node operation creates a new rack storage entry in the Hudu system. It is useful for managing physical or virtual rack storage locations within an organization's infrastructure. For example, a data center manager can use this node to add new rack storage units with specific attributes such as name, location, dimensions, and associated company information.

Use Case Examples

1. Creating a new rack storage with a specified name and location ID.
2. Adding additional details like height, width, maximum wattage, and description to a rack storage entry.
3. Associating the rack storage with a specific company by name or ID.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure that the required fields 'Name' and 'Location ID' are provided; missing these will cause errors.
