Adding an existing system
As your environment changes, you may want to add an existing system to a scenario.
1.
From the System tab of the scenario editor, select Edit
→Add Existing Systems... from the
menu bar.
The Edit Scenario - Add Existing Systems screen will be displayed. The systems with
available data will be displayed in a list with check boxes beside them. Any systems licensed
for Capacity Advisor will be named below the list.
2.
If any of the systems you want to add to the scenario are not displayed on this page, you
need to license them for Capacity Advisor (see the section “Adding and applying licenses”
in HP Insight Dynamics 6.2 Getting Started Guide) and collect data on them (see
data for Capacity Advisor” (page 55)
).
3.
If the systems you wish to add to the scenario are in the list of licensed systems without
available Capacity Advisor data, collect data on them (see
) and continue with the next step.
4.
Click in the check boxes beside the systems you want to add to the scenario to select them.
