NOTE:
You can add one or more system names at a time by separating each name with a
comma (,) within the System Name field.
IMPORTANT:
While Capacity Advisor will inform you when the system name that you
have designated is not unique (a system with the same name has been discovered by HP
SIM), it cannot check names of systems that have not yet been discovered or created. Use
names that you believe will not be used in the future (during the useful life of the scenario).

Adding an existing system
As your environment changes, you may want to add an existing system to a scenario.
1.
From the System tab of the scenario editor, select Edit
→Add Existing Systems... from the
menu bar.
The Edit Scenario - Add Existing Systems screen will be displayed. The systems with
available data will be displayed in a list with check boxes beside them. Any systems licensed
for Capacity Advisor will be named below the list.
2.
If any of the systems you want to add to the scenario are not displayed on this page, you
need to license them for Capacity Advisor (see the section “Adding and applying licenses”
in HP Insight Dynamics 6.0 Getting Started Guide) and collect data on them (see
data for Capacity Advisor” (page 53)
).
3.
If the systems you wish to add to the scenario are in the list of licensed systems without
available Capacity Advisor data, collect data on them (see
) and continue with the next step.
4.
Click in the check boxes beside the systems you want to add to the scenario to select them.
5.
Click the OK button.
The System tab of the Capacity Advisor - Edit Scenario screen will open.
