Add field Height (U) in the devices list

[Flabenelli]

NetBox version

v4.1.6

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

In the available column list in the devices tab, add height of the device.

Use case

When planning data center migrations, I tag all devices to be moved. Currently, there is no easy way to determine the total rack height (U) required for these tagged devices. I have to manually look up the height for each device type included in the tagged list, which is time-consuming for many servers.

Database changes

ALTER TABLE dcim_device
ADD COLUMN height numeric(5,2) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0.00;

UPDATE dcim_device AS d
SET height = dt.u_height
FROM dcim_devicetype AS dt
WHERE d.device_type_id = dt.id;

External dependencies

none

This is asking that the device.rack_type.height be a column on the Devices list view.
