DATACENTER CABLING SERVICING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A datacenter cabling servicing system, comprising:
- a plurality of computing devices;
a plurality of cabling subsystems interconnecting the plurality of computing devices;
a plurality of cabling locator devices, wherein each of the plurality of cabling locator devices is associated with at least one of the plurality of cabling subsystems;
a plurality of cabling servicing devices;
a cabling issue system; and
a cabling management system that is coupled through a network to the plurality of cabling locator devices, the plurality of cabling servicing devices; and
the cabling issue system, wherein the cabling management system is configured to;
receive cabling issue identification information through the network from the cabling issue system, wherein the cabling issue identification information identifies a cabling issue with a first cabling subsystem of the plurality of cabling subsystems;
determine a cabling issue location of the first cabling subsystem using the cabling issue identification information and a first cabling locator device location received through the network from a first cabling locator device of the plurality of cabling locator devices that is associated with the first cabling subsystem;
receive a current location through the network from each of the plurality of cabling servicing devices and, in response, determine a first cabling servicing device of the plurality of cabling servicing devices that includes a current location that is closest to the cabling issue location; and
provide the cabling issue location of the first cabling subsystem through the network for display on the first cabling servicing device.

Abstract
A datacenter cabling issue addressing system includes computing devices interconnected by cabling subsystems. Cabling locator devices are associated with each of the cabling subsystems. A cabling management system receives cabling issue identification information through a network that identifies a cabling issue with a first cabling subsystem. A cabling issue location of the first cabling subsystem is determined using the cabling issue identification information and a first cabling locator device location received through the network from a first cabling locator device that is associated with the first cabling subsystem. A current location is received through the network from each of the cabling servicing devices and, in response, a first cabling servicing device is determined to include a current location that is closest to the cabling issue location. The cabling issue location of the first cabling subsystem is then provided through the network for display on the first cabling servicing device.
