Wont import racks with same name in different rows/locations

[dionrowney]

We have Rack-1 in Row-1 and Row-2 and the same in different datacenters.

It seems to puke on Rack names that are already imported with the same name.

Is the a work around or do i have to change source Rack names in my 50 rooms to be distinct?

i can try and fix this in future, but for now you would be best to just temporarily re-name racks in your RT instance to get your migration done, there is a good chance you will end up renaming them in netbox post migration anyways once you figure out how you want to show data in netbox

I was able to take the locatiojn, row and rack names and combine them in your code for testing. I may also add a random number to the end of the name in rack tables like you suggested (I have 100+ racks) with duplicate names (RACK-1 in location X) etc
