Editing a system
When constructing a scenario, it is frequently necessary to modify the characteristics of a system
to reflect future changes to existing hardware or to reflect the characteristics of a planned system.
1. If you are not on the System tab within the Edit Scenario window, click the System tab.
The System tab opens, displaying the list of systems currently in the scenario.
2. Click the check box preceding the name of the server that you want to edit.
3. Select What-If Action
→Edit System... from the menu bar.
The Edit Scenario: Edit System screen displays in a new window.
4. If you chose a physical server to edit, the user interface will recognize whether or not the
system matches the hardware catalog as currently defined .
•
For systems that match the hardware catalog, Customize system from hardware catalog
will be selected.
Modify the values that you want to change. See “Attributes that define the features for
each simulated system (matching the hardware catalog)” in Capacity Advisor Help for
guidance.
•
For systems that do not match the hardware catalog, Customize system will be selected.
Modify the values that you want to change. See “Filtering to find a particular system”
and “Attributes that define the features for each simulated physical system” in Capacity
Advisor Help for guidance.
5. If you chose a virtual machine to edit, Customize virtual machine will be selected.
Modify the values that you want to change. See “Attributes that define the features for each
simulated virtual machine” Capacity Advisor Help for guidance.
6. Click OK.
The System tab of the Capacity Advisor Edit Scenario screen displays the modified server.

Changing VMs to be servers
This screen allows you to convert existing virtual machines to individual servers.
Change VMs to server
1. From the System tab of the scenario editor, select one or more VMs.
2. Select What-If Action
→Change VMs to be Servers from the menu bar.
The Edit Scenario: Change VMs to be Servers screen displays.
3. Change the Meter Style, if desired.
