HP Virtualization Manager and HP Capacity Advisor: an introduction

The customization of the payroll workload is complete at this point. The historic profile did
not require manipulation and the forecast was not altered as there is no expected growth in the
workload over the next year. Finally, the baseline has been customized to incorporate the re-
source usage pattern of the workload. The next step in this scenario is to edit the workload pro-
file for the backup workload.
Editing the Backup Workload Profile
The final workload to be customized in this scenario is the backup workload. As is typical for
backup workloads, it runs on a nightly basis. The workload profile is edited by selecting it in the
screen shown in Figure 18-5. The first step in editing the workload is correcting any issues in the
historic profile. This workload’s historic profile is accurate and does not need alteration. The
next step is modifying the forecast. The forecast for the backup workload is adjusted for the
expected increase in the number of systems in the environment that will require backup
