For example, assume you want to delete a department called TooSmall. The TooSmall department
owns 50 percent of a host and the Server department owns 50 percent of the host. When you
remove TooSmall, the host is owned by the Server department, but only by 50 percent.
To remove a department from the list:
1. Access Chargeback Manager, as described in ” Accessing Chargeback Manager ” on
page 639.
2. Click the Departments tab above the table.
3. Click the Delete ( ) button corresponding to the department you want to remove.
Setting the Infrastructure Cost
For a more detailed analysis of chargeback information, you can optionally specify infrastructure
cost. There are two types of monthly infrastructure costs that you can set up: Asset-based and
Storage-based. Each can be set up to calculate infrastructure cost based on ownership. Asset and
storage-based infrastructure costs that you specify are calculated as part of your monthly
chargeback results. See About Asset–based and Storage–based Infrastructure Cost , page 649 for
more information. Follow these steps to set up infrastructure costs on the management server:
1. Access Chargeback Manager, as described in ” Accessing Chargeback Manager ” on
page 639.
2. Click the Ownership tab in the right pane.
3. Click the Chargeback Method menu, and select either Asset–based or Storage–based.
4. Click Set Infrastructure Cost.
5. Enter the monthly infrastructure charge for calculating either asset-based or storage-based
infrastructure costs, whichever you chose in step 3.
6. Click OK.
About Asset–based and Storage–based Infrastructure Cost
Asset-based and storage-based infrastructure cost are optional chargeback calculations that you
can specify on the Ownership page. Setting an asset-based or storage-based infrastructure cost
calculates a monthly infrastructure charge, which is identical for each department and is applied
once each month on top of the department’s total ownership cost. Modifying the infrastructure
charge impacts the asset-based or storage-based chargeback result for all department owners.
Asset-based infrastructure cost, when optionally set up, is added to the total asset-based chargeback
calculation results. Storage-based infrastructure cost is added to the total storage-based chargeback
calculation results.
For example, the infrastructure cost is not included when you view the chargeback for individual
elements; however, the infrastructure cost is added to the Total Cost/Month value in the asset-based
or storage-based Chargeback Manager report. It is also displayed when you view chargeback per
department. The infrastructure cost is added to each department, regardless of whether the
department owns one or 100 elements.
