Moving a virtual machine

Moving

Virtual Machines

(VMs) among

VM hosts

allows you to redistribute virtual equivalents

of existing systems across physical servers. Capacity Advisor automatically takes into account
use of dynamic memory by a virtual machine.

NOTE:

Performance for a virtual machine is usually calculated using the performance index

calculated for its VM host. However, when a virtual machine is moved from one VM host to
another having a different clock speed, performance is calculated using a combination of clock
speed and the performance index of the destination host. To get the best possible measure, collect
the desired amount of data from a VM before moving it to host of a differing CPU clock speed.

1.

From the System tab in the scenario editor, click the check box preceding the virtual system(s)
that you want to move.

2.

Select What-if Action

Move Virtual Machines... from the menu bar.

The Edit Scenario: Move Virtual Machines screen displays.

3.

Change the Meter Scale, if desired.

4.

Change the Data Range if a different size of data collection is desired, and click OK to refresh
the table display.

TIP:

A longer data collection period provides a better picture of activity on the system

over time than shorter periods do.

5.

Change the Meter Representation if a different calculation is desired .

6.

The first table presents the virtual machines selected for the move.

7.

In the next table, labeled To: (Selected VM Hosts), take a few moments to mouse over
various entries in the table and analyze the information presented. This table lists the possible
destination hosts available in this scenario, their current resource utilization information,
and their headroom rating.

8.

Select a system to be the new host for the virtual machine(s).

9.

Click OK.

The System tab of the Edit Scenario screen opens showing the new virtual machine
relationships.
