NAME
capcustombenchmark -- Format of Capacity Advisor custom benchmark database files.
DESCRIPTION
Defines the file format to use when creating custom benchmark data to be used by Capacity Advisor
for scaling of CPU utilization values when moving workloads and/or virtual machines.
Custom benchmark data can be defined as single line entries in a text file with each line containing
the following data as a comma-separated list defining benchmark data for a single system type:
system description: String Description of the system (model) as it appears after
discovery in Systems Insight Manager.
number of configured cores:
Integer The number of CPU cores in the system.
processor description:
String Description of the processor (processor family) as it appears
after discovery in Systems Insight Manager.
processor speed: Integer The speed of the processor in MHz for which the custom
benchmark data was determined.
benchmark performance index
value:
Float
The custom value to use as the benchmark performance
index for the system described.
EXAMPLE
A line of benchmark data would look like the following in a custom file:
ProLiant BL460c G1, 2, Intel Xeon, 2700, 2807.5809
where
•
ProLiant BL460c G1 is the system description
•
2 is the number of configured cores
•
Intel Xeon is the processor description
•
2700 is the processor speed
•
2807.5809 is the benchmark performance index value
CONVERSIONS
To convert from some publicly available benchmark values to a Capacity Advisor performance
index value, the following conversion formulas have been provided.
Spec2006:
Performance index = specInt2006rate * 209 / coreCount
