racktables2netbox

A RackTables to NetBox migration utility. This tiny tool should be used to migrate your existing RackTables installations towards NetBox.

Reccomended racktables source version 0.21.X

Known Issues

1. Racktables allows an object to be "split" across U's, netbox does not. split these up in racktables pre-migration. (eg, a device in U1 and U3, but not in U2)
2. Netbox needs device templates, you will need to populate hardware_map.yaml with mappings between racktables device types to nb device types

Installation

unzip racktables2netbox.zip
cd racktables2netbox
cp conf.sample.yaml conf.yaml
cp hardware_map.yaml.sample hardware_map.yaml

Usage

1. Create a NetBox API Token
2. Create a RackTables read-only database user
3. edit conf.yaml regarding your needs (URLs, credentials, ...)
4. run python3 racktables2netbox.py
5. optional: to get back to a clean NetBox installation run python3 clean_netbox.py

Credits

Thanks to Device42 who have already written a RackTables to Device42 migration utility. @goebelmeier was able to use it as a starting point to make this migration script. I (ITJamie) forked it and added more data migrations
