experimentation in Capacity Advisor with resource allocations, consolidations, and utilization
limits will help you arrive at the best fit for these workloads.
With Capacity Advisor's visualization and reporting tools, you can make a considered estimate
of server resource utilization using different scenarios and easily refine allocations by tweaking
values in the scenarios. Such estimates can help you minimize overspending for capacity you
use rarely, and maximize utilization of your systems to ensure that your systems have the capacity
needed at the level you require.
Modeling considerations
Capacity Advisor methodology makes certain assumptions in its data analysis. These assumptions
include using an automatically determined CPU performance index, with normalization based
on benchmark data or benchmark data in combination with CPU clock speed in special cases.
Memory is not normalized. Scale factors can be set on the Capacity Advisor Edit Workload and
Move Workload screens. See
“Adjusting for platform changes” (page 119)
for more information.
On the Edit Scenario screen, you can select either the System or Workload tab to manipulate
the planning
and specify which
to view:
,
or
(maximum 15-minute sustained). The Meter Style can be absolute numbers or in
percentages. By changing the metrics to view, you can explore multiple options for system and
workload deployment. See
“ Controlling the data display” (page 86)
for more information.
Capacity Advisor commands
In addition to tasks that you can perform from the Capacity Advisor graphical user interface,
Capacity Advisor provides several commands that can be run from the command line on an
HP-UX or Microsoft Windows CMS. For specific information, see
