Where you might use this multiplier
• when creating a workload or editing its attributes
Examples To increase the CPU utilization of a new workload by 10% of the chosen baseline
workload, enter a multiplier of 1.1.
To decrease the CPU utilization of a new workload by 10% of the chosen baseline workload,
enter a multiplier of .9.
Memory workload multiplier
Meaning The relative change in memory utilization when you are sizing a workload to simulate
a new workload in a scenario. Memory utilization by the new workload that you are creating
can be made smaller, the same, or larger than that of the workload chosen as the baseline value.
TIP: To account for differences in platforms, use the Memory Multiplier .
Default The default value is 1.0.
Where you might use this multiplier
• when creating a workload or editing its attributes
Example To increase the memory utilization of a new workload by 20% of the chosen baseline
workload, enter a multiplier of 1.2.
Network I/O workload multiplier
Meaning The relative change in network I/O utilization desired when sizing an existing
workload to better simulate a new workload in a scenario. Network I/O can be made smaller,
the same, or larger than that available for the workload chosen as the baseline value.
Default
The default value is 1.0 (no change).
Where you might use this multiplier
• when creating a workload or editing its attributes
Example To decrease the network I/O available to a new workload by 5% of that available to
the chosen baseline workload, enter a multiplier of .95.
Disk I/O workload multiplier
Meaning The relative change in disk I/O utilization desired when sizing an existing workload
to better simulate a new workload in a scenario. Disk I/O can be made smaller, the same, or larger
than that available for the workload chosen as the baseline value.
Default
The default value is 1.0 (no change).
Where you might use this multiplier
• when creating a workload or editing its attributes
Example To increase the disk I/O available to a new workload by 10% of that available to the
chosen baseline workload, enter a multiplier of 1.1.
Determining estimated utilization assumptions for a workload
Use these fields to set parameters for the workload's utilization of resources.
When you use an existing workload profile (Copy Profile), you leverage data that already exists
for a workload to examine alternatives. When you use a static workload profile (Static Profile),
you create a profile based on independent values.
