Computer room environment servicing

A computer program product for providing computer room service instructions within a computer room service environment, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith:, the program instructions readable by a management device to cause the management device to:

• pair with a plurality of distinct serviceable devices via a computer room service network (CRSN), wherein the paring is triggered by a specific request from the administrator to discover the serviceable devices within the computer room service environment or triggered automatically when powering on serviceable devices, and wherein the CRSN comprises at least one of a Bluetooth connection™ or near field connection;
• discovering one or more serviceable devices located within the computer room service environment;
• determining, by a service application provided by the management device, a service template from a plurailty of templates associated with various service scenarios to facilitate the generation of the computer room service instruction;
• and
• wherein the service template provides for a service graphical user interface (GUI) which provides for visual representations of serviceable devices, and wherein the service GUI includes at least one of a serviceable device representation, a physical cable representation that includes a connector representation, and a connector representation;
• determine that a first serviceable device should be communicatively connected to a second serviceable device with a cable;
• direct, via a computer morn service network (CRSN), the serviceable device to activate a first light of the first serviceable device that is proximately located to a first port of the first serviceable device to which the cable is to be connected and directing, from the management device via the CRSN, the second serviceable device to activate a second light of the second serviceable device that is proximately located to a second port of the second serviceable device to which the cable is to be connected;
• provide the service GUI comprising a representation of the first service device, a representation of the first port, a representation of the activated first light, a representation of the second service device, a representation of the second port, a representation of the activated second light, service instructions associated with connecting the cable to the first port and to the second port, and a completion object;
• receive a user manipulation of the completion object to indicate that cable was connected to the first port and to the second port;
• upon the reception of the user manipulation of the completion object, direct, via the CRSN, the first serviceable device to test whether the first serviceable device is communicatively connected to the second serviceable device via the cable;
• and
• upon the first serviceable device confirming that the first serviceable device is communicatively connected to the second serviceable device via the cable, receive from the first serviceable device, a confirmation via the CRSN.

A computer room service environment comprising:

• a plurality of distinct serviceable devices paired to a management device by a computer room service network (CRSN), wherein the paring is triggered by a specific request from the administrator to discover the serviceable devices within the computer room service environment or triggered automatically when powering on serviceable devices, and wherein the CRSN comprises at least one of a Bluetooth™ connection or near field connection;
• discovering one or more serviceable devices located within the computer room service environment;
• determining, by a service application provided by the management device, a service template from a plurality of templates associated with various service scenarios to facilitate the generation of the computer room service instructions;
• and
• wherein the service template provides for a service graphical user interface (GUI) which provides for visual representations of serviceable devices, and wherein the service GUI includes at least one of a serviceable device representation, a physical cable representation that includes a connector representation, and a connector representation;
• a first serviceable device comprising a first light in proximate location with a first port of the first serviceable device to which a cable is to be connected, the first serviceable device activates the first light upon the receipt of an activation instruction sent from the management device via the CRSN;
• a second serviceable device comprising a second light in proximate location with a second port of the second serviceable device to which the cable is to be connected, the second serviceable device activates the second light upon the receipt of an activation instruction sent from the management device via the CRSN;
• the management device determines that the first serviceable device should be communicatively connected to the second serviceable device with the cable, the management device comprising the service GUI providing a representation of the first service device, a representation of the first port, a representation of the activated first light, a representation of the second service device, a representation of the second port, a representation of the activated second light, service instructions associated with connecting the cable to the first port and to the second port, and a completion object, the management device receives upon the service GUI a user manipulation of the completion object to indicate that cable was connected to the first port and to the second port and upon receipt of the user manipulation of the completion object directs via the CRSN, the first serviceable device to test whether the first serviceable device is communicatively connected to the second serviceable device via the cable and upon the first serviceable device confirming that the first serviceable device is communicatively connected to the second serviceable device via the cable, the first serviceable device sends a confirmation to the management device via the GRSN.
