hardware diagram / database

Hi - we are looking for a (hopefully free/opensource) solution for diagramming our rack/hardware configuration. the rack solution seems easier to find than the hardware piece. i.e. on our IBM 770 with two CEC's, a method of noting what hardware points to what... for example, on the primary CEC, C2T1 has WWN number such and such, was connected by whoever and plugged into switch whatever and used for this, that an the other (free text). at this point, i am almost ready to take a picture of the back of the device and creating a html map pulling from a home made mysql database. a spread sheet is our current method - which works i suppose. i believe there is a nifty little web application out there that would be better. thanks!

NAME
kudzu - detects and configures new and/or changed hardware on a system SYNOPSIS
kudzu DESCRIPTION
kudzu detects and configures new and/or changed hardware on a system. When started, kudzu detects the current hardware, and checks it against a database stored in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf, if one exists. It then determines if any hardware has been added or removed from the system. If so, it gives the users the opportunity to configure any added hardware, and unconfigure any removed hardware. It then updates the database in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf. If no previous database exists, kudzu attempts to determine what devices have already been configured, by looking at /etc/modules.conf, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/, and /etc/X11/XF86Config. OPTIONS
--usage Show short usage message. --help, -? Print help information. -q, --quiet Run 'quietly'; do only configuration that doesn't require user input. -s, --safe Do only 'safe' probes that won't disturb hardware. Currently, this disables the serial probe, the DDC monitor probe, and the PS/2 probe. -t, --timeout [seconds] This sets the timeout for the initial dialog. If no key is pressed before the timeout elapses, kudzu exits, and /etc/syscon- fig/hwconf is not updated. -k, --kernel [version] When determining whether a module exists, use the specified kernel version. (If this is not set, it defaults to the current kernel version.) Do not specify suffixes such as 'smp' or 'summit'; these are automatically searched. -b, --bus [bus] Only probe on the specified bus. -c, --class [class] Only probe for the specified class. -f, --file [file] Read hardware probe info from file file and do not do an actual probe. -p, --probe Print probe information to the screen, and do not actually configure or unconfigure any devices. FILES
/etc/sysconfig/hwconf Listing of current installed hardware. /etc/sysconfig/kudzu Configuration for the boot-time hardware probe. Set 'SAFE' to something other than 'no' to force only safe probes. /etc/modules.conf Module configuration file. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* Network interface configuration files. BUGS The serial probe will disturb any currently in-use devices, and returns odd results if used on machines acting as serial consoles. On some older graphics cards, the DDC probe can do strange things. AUTHOR
