Creating a historical utilization data report
To use HP Capacity Advisor 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 Matrix Operating Environment; 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 105) ).
HP Capacity Advisor 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
