Data collection and the HP Insight Capacity Advisor Consolidation software
HP provides the HP Insight Capacity Advisor Consolidation software specifically to address the
need to understand resource utilization on servers that are targeted for consolidation onto other
systems. Such servers often will not be running Insight Dynamics. Yet, being able to use Capacity
Advisor's planning facilities can greatly reduce the amount of time needed to plan a consolidation
effort.
The HP Insight Capacity Advisor Consolidation software provides you with a limited license to
obtain data for use in Capacity Advisor scenarios. For six months from the time the license is
locked into its assignment to a server, you can collect data to use in your consolidation planning
scenarios within Capacity Advisor.
