Chapter 9: Capacity planning

Virtualization Manager includes a capacity planning module where you can see

when your current virtual infrastructure will run out of resources, you can plan to

add new VMs to your current infrastructure, and you can examine how new

hardware will increase the capacity of your virtual infrastructure.

Note: Virtualization Manager uses only shared storage in capacity planning

calculations.

Planning basics

Capacity planning is driven by a supply side and a demand side. The Capacity

Planning module contains the following sections:

l The supply side is a Resource Container. A Resource Container defines

the computing resources available in one or more hosts, or all the hosts in

one or more clusters. In the capacity planning module, the Resource

Container is in the upper left quadrant.

l The demand side is called a Usage Profile. A Usage Profile defines the set

of VMs that use the computing resources. It is in the upper right quadrant.

l The bottom portion of the module displays the results from the capacity

planning analysis.

For more information, see Using resource containers and Using usage profiles.

Using resource containers

A resource container is a group of hosts that provide computing resources.

A resource container considers the following primary resources:

l CPU

l memory
