Chapter 9: Capacity planning

If the Usage Profile does not include clusters, the sizes are calculated based on

all the averaged values per resource included in the usage profile. You can view

these values in the Details view of the usage profile.

Small: The minimum value of all the averaged values of the resources.

Average: The average of all the averaged values of the resources.

Large: The maximum value of all the averaged values of the resources.

If the Usage Profile contains clusters, the calculation uses minimum, maximum,

and average values from cluster trends.

What if I add more resources?

For the When will I run out? and How much more can I add? use cases, you may

want to plan while considering new host resources that are not currently part of

your virtual environment. To accomplish this, click Advanced options in the

bottom left of the Capacity Planning module. For more information, see Advanced

options.

To simulate adding more hosts:

1. Open Calculation Settings within the Capacity Manager.

2. Specify the following information:

l The number of hosts to add

l The number of CPUs per host

l The speed of each CPU (in MHz, not in GHz)

l The memory per host (in GB)

l The shared disk space per host (in GB)

l The IOPS measurement of the disk

l The Net I/O (Mbps)

3. Click Update to see how the new resources affect the number of VMs you

can add.
