5. Change the Data Range if a different size of data collection is desired, and click OK to refresh
the table display.
TIP: A longer data collection period provides a better picture of activity on the system
over time than shorter periods do.
6. Change the Meter Representation if a different calculation is desired .
7. The first table presents the workloads selected for the move.
8. If the original system that the workload resided on differs significantly from the intended
destination system on which you intend to run the workload, use the memory platform
multiplier to adjust for differences between the two systems. On entering a new value for
the memory platform multiplier, you must click Refresh to update the table titled Select
Destination System:
with the new values.
9. Optional. Change the headroom calculation. You must click Refresh to update the server
destination table with the new values.
10. In the next table, labeled Select Destination System, take a few moments to mouse over
various entries in the table and analyze the information presented. This table lists the possible
destination systems available in this scenario, their current resource utilization information,
and their headroom rating.
11. Select a system to be the new host for the workload. The OK button becomes enabled for
use.
Server presentation:
The table entries are ordered by headroom fitness as determined by Capacity Advisor, and
Capacity Advisor selects the top selection by default. Examine the headroom rating and the
utilization meters for each prospective host to determine which host best fits your goals for
headroom fitness and optimal utilization.
Not seeing a host that you expect to be in the destination list?:
Capacity Advisor allows only one workload to be assigned to a VM host in a scenario.
Therefore, VM hosts that already have a workload do not appear as destination candidates
in this screen.
12. Click OK to accept these changes.
Unknowingly accepting unseen values:
This can happen if you modify the memory platform multiplier after selecting the destination
server, but then click OK without refreshing the destination table with the new values. The
resulting change to the utilization values shown in the Workload tab view will differ from
those seen in the previously shown destination table because the Workload tab will reflect
the modified values.
When modifying the memory platform multiplier, remember to click Refresh, and check
the updated values shown in the utilization meters in the destination table. Once you have
refreshed this table, select a server based on the new values. If you want the same server
that you selected before changing the values, you must re-select that server to enable the
OK
button.
The Workload tab of the Edit Scenario screen opens showing the new workload relationships.
