Choose the workloads to stack
Take the following actions on the Edit Scenario Workload tab. The window will display the
Capacity Advisor: Automated Workload Stacking
screen with the selected workloads that
you chose.
1.
Using the check boxes, select the workloads that you plan to stack.
NOTE:
Though the HP Smart Solver is now aware of what-if VMware DRS clusters,
solutions can be presented that do not account for other cluster relationships (such as a
Serviceguard cluster). To preserve these cluster relationships in a simulation, create a scenario
that includes all members (hosts and guests) from the cluster that you want to represent in
the scenario.
2.
From the Workload tab, select What-If Action
→Automated Workload Stacking....
Step 1 of 3 displays.

Longer intervals provide a better picture of activity on the system over time than
shorter intervals do.
3.
Change the Meter Representation if a different calculation is desired .
4.
Select a destination host option.
5.
Depending on your host destination type, you will need to do one or both of the following
steps.
•
View the list of potential hosts included in the scenario in the Select the existing

You may need to expand the gray bar to view the table entries.
•
If you select to use a host template, a template editor will open. Fill in the fields as
desired. (See “Host Template Fields” in Capacity Advisor Help for attribute descriptions.)
Any new host systems will use this configuration.
