5. Click the OK button.
The Workload tab of the Capacity Advisor - Edit Scenario screen will open.
Working with power
When you are calibrating power data settings, you specify the following:
•
how power metrics should be displayed for graphs, meters, and reports
• how the power estimation should be calibrated:
— manually (you specify idle/maximum watt usage)
— automatically (using power and CPU data obtained from HP Insight Control power
management (IPM) and HP Integrity Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO2)
— none (no power metrics are displayed)
Power settings can be calibrated for actual systems from within HP Insight Virtualization Manager
software and for simulated systems from within a Capacity Advisor scenario. These two areas
are discussed in the sections below.
TIP: The various power calibration screens look similar to one another, but you can tell that
you are within a scenario rather than interacting with the actual system when the screen title
includes the words Edit Scenario:.
IMPORTANT: For specific descriptions of each field or summary table on the user interface
screens, click the help topic link on the software screen for the task.
TIP: For lists of all menu options for Capacity Advisor features, see “Menus & tabs” in Capacity
Advisor Help.
Calibrating power within Virtualization Manager
This screen allows you to directly calibrate the power settings for managed systems. You can
specify the source data for the power metrics that are stored on the system and displayed in the
profile viewers available from the power meter displays in Virtualization Manager. Collected
power data is also viewable in
historic resource utilization reports .
All power calibration options (manual, automatic, none) are available from Virtualization
Manager. The resulting calculated metrics are viewable in the power measurements and graphs
in Virtualization Manager.
HP Insight Control power management and iLO2 If you choose to use power data from IPM ,
you will be interacting with IPM and iLO2 on the system itself. Therefore, you will need
appropriate authorizations for the target systems. For more information on IPMand iLO2, see
following Internet locations:
•
IPM (HP Insight Control power management)
• iLO2 (HP Integrity Integrated Lights-Out 2)
Prerequisites
You will need “VSE All Tools” permissions on the managed systems where you want to calibrate
power. (See
“Accessing Capacity Advisor” (page 53) .)
Procedure 5-88 Open the Visualization tab in Virtualization Manager
1. Start Virtualization Manager. (Tools
→Virtualization Manager...)
The Visualization tab opens.
2. View the list of systems in the display.
