TIP: As the number of scenarios grows, the description field can help you to differentiate
similarly named scenarios.
4. Optional. You can de-select the check box for opening a scenario editing session after
completing scenario creation. When you un-check this box, you will return to the scenario
list page upon completing the scenario creation.
The Edit Scenario window on Mozilla Firefox:
In the case where the Edit Scenario window is already open, but hidden beneath other
windows when you create a new scenario, it is not obvious that the window has refreshed
with your new scenario information. This can occur when using Mozilla Firefox with multiple
windows open on your display. To more easily access the refreshed window, set Firefox to
allow Javascript to raise or lower windows. Then, when you create a new scenario, the
pre-existing Edit Scenario window will rise to the forefront of the display.
5. Click Next to proceed to the Add Systems to Analyze screen, or click Systems in the left
navigation column.
Procedure 5-61 Selecting systems to simulate
1. From the Add Systems to Analyze, click Add.
A new window opens that provides controls for filtering and selecting discovered systems
to include in the scenario.
2. In the new window, select existing systems that you want to include in the scenario and
click Add. (See “Adding systems” in Capacity Advisor online help for information on using
the controls in this window.)
With each addition, the list of systems on the primary Systems screen lengthens.
3. Click Next to view a summary of all actions taken in the wizard.
Procedure 5-62 Reviewing a summary of the scenario settings
1. Verify that the summary information is what you expect.
2. When satisfied, click Finish to save the scenario and exit the Create Scenario wizard.
By default, the scenario editor will open, showing utilization data for your new scenario.
The default data range used to calculate the utilization in the meters is set to one week back
from the current date. (See
“ Controlling the data display” (page 86) in the Scenario Editor
to change this value.)
If you have not selected to open a scenario editing session, the main window refreshes with
the list of scenarios (on the Capacity Advisor tab), including your new scenario.

Consolidating server loads onto a virtual machine manually [p. 36]
• Consolidating server loads onto a virtual machine using automated solution finding [p. 47]
• Estimating the effect of adding processors [p. 50]
• Table 4-5 (page 50) Estimating the effect of moving processors [p. 50]
• Determining where to put a workload using automated solution finding
Editing a scenario
Editing a scenario allows you to modify the systems and workloads in a scenario. This can be
done immediately after initial creation or to tune a scenario to represent planned changes.
