v4.4.6

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Currently the "hot-swappable" checkbox only appears for "power supply" module type profiles.
I'd like to request this be extended to include additional profiles.
Specifically: fan and hard disk

Use case

denote real world capabilities. sometimes fan modules can be hot swappable, in the case of network equipment.
hard disk drives are also typically hot swappable in modern data center applications.

but sometimes fans and/or hard disks are not hot-swappable, in which case it would be good to document that as well.

Database changes

I believe an additional field value (true/false) for the fan and hard disk data types.

External dependencies

none
