HP Insight Capacity Advisor software

Capacity Advisor lets you quickly and safely test potentially costly configuration changes in your data center before you actually make them. To start Capacity Advisor, select Tools→Capacity Advisor from the top menu bar, or select the Capacity Advisor tab within Virtualization Manager. With Capacity Advisor, you can find answers to questions such as the following:

•Is there room on this system for an additional workload?

•Will this workload fit on this system?

•Can I consolidate these servers as virtual machines on a single server?

•What might my resource demand be in six months or a year?

•What are the estimated power costs for cooling a real or simulated system configuration?

•What does a comparison of several what-if scenarios reveal about the analyzed alternatives?

Capacity Advisor helps you optimize workloads across your management domain to help maximize utilization of server resources. It provides scenario analysis to help you manage your current server resources and plan for changes to your workloads and resources. These scenarios allow you to simulate the following actions:

•Resizing systems

•Resizing workloads

•Moving workloads

Capacity Advisor provides the following additional features.

•Automated generation of reports Capacity Advisor automates report generation that would otherwise take many manual steps to collect and present data or analysis.

•Trace-based simulator Providing graphs over specific data intervals, Capacity Advisor gives a more complete and accurate view of resource utilization than focusing on a single peak.

•Ease of data gathering Data is collected automatically using a secure protocol and stored in a central database for analysis.

For more information about Capacity Advisor, see the HP Insight Capacity Advisor 6.2 User Guide, available at http://www.hp.com/go/insightdynamics/docs.

HP Insight Capacity Advisor Consolidation software

Capacity Advisor is also available through a limited-duration license for systems that are intended to be consolidated. The HP Insight Capacity Advisor Consolidation software does not include Virtualization Manager or any other Insight Dynamics components. Using this software, you can collect and analyze data to help you plan the consolidation of existing systems, without requiring a full Insight Dynamics license for those systems. For more information, see the section “Data collection and the HP Insight Capacity Advisor Consolidation software” in the HP Insight Capacity Advisor 6.2 User Guide.
