utilization of server resources. From VM Manager, you can cause Capacity Advisor to collect and display historical data for a VM Host or selected virtual machines. Certain VM Manager views include utilization meters (bar graphs) that display current utilization data for a resource; you can click the meter to view a screen that provides more detailed historical data. (These meters are visible when using VM Manager with HP SMH, but you cannot click them to obtain a Capacity Advisor report.) For more information about using VM Manager to collect and view utilization data, see Chapter 7 (page 105). For more information about accessing Capacity Advisor through VM Manager, see “Using the Tools menu” (page 71) and “Using the View menu” (page 76).
