Figure 2-2 CPU utilization for managed system puny03v8

Peak (highest) value.

Similarly,

Figure 2-3

shows CPU utilization for a second system over the same period.

Peak value.

Comparing these two graphs shows that workload peaks on the two systems do not occur
simultaneously, nor do they require the same percentage of the allocated CPU cores for processing.
This suggests an opportunity to consider whether you can consolidate both systems together to
satisfy the needs of the workloads, while reducing the number of CPU cores (originally each
system is allocated 2 cores, for a total of 4 cores available to do work).

Figure 2-4

shows the result of using a Capacity Advisor “what-if” scenario to combine the

workloads onto one system.
