Creating a historical utilization data report
To use HP Insight Capacity Advisor software to create a historical utilization report that includes
data for the target workloads, systems, complexes, or scenarios you specify, select the
Tools
→Capacity Advisor Historic Report menu item from the VM Manager menu bar. This
menu item is available only when you use VM Manager with Insight Dynamics; it is not available
when using VM Manager through HP SMH. Before creating a report, you must have collected
data on the systems of interest (see
“Enabling collection of utilization data” (page 111) ).
HP Insight Capacity Advisor software reports provide information about utilization and allocation
data that have been collected and analyzed. This facility gives you the flexibility of analyzing
and showing data collected over specified time periods. A wizard allows you to set a variety of
parameters to determine the time periods and systems for data collection and analysis. The report
can be browsed (the screen is presented in a new browser window) and saved. In contrast, the
View
→Capacity Advisor Data... menu item gives a snapshot of utilization that's more limited
to the current, most recent time period.
Capacity Advisor collects data for the following resources or targets: systems, workloads,
complexes, and scenarios. For these targets, Capacity Advisor provides utilization information
in the following reports:
•
System Utilization Report
• Workload Utilization Report
• Complex Utilization Report
• Scenario Utilization Report
