HP Virtualization Manager and HP Capacity Advisor: an introduction

In this case, the three workloads are selected to be moved to the hypothetical system. The upper
portion of the screen shows each of the workloads and their resource profiles. The middle of the
screen shows the current nPartition servers where the workloads are currently running. Finally,
the bottom of the screen shows the hypothetical system as the target for the workloads. When
this What-If Move Workload screen is approved, the follow-on screens for this capacity-planning
scenario will show the workloads as if they have been moved. From these screens, reports can be
generated to evaluate whether the hypothetical system and the workloads will receive their re-
quired resources.
Since the hypothetical system in the scenario now contains the three workloads being eval-
uated for consolidation, the system is selected as the target for reports. Figure 18-18 shows the
interface for creating a system report. This interface provides a wide variety of options for cus-
tomizing the report. In this example, the options to generate overall system and workload
summaries are selected along with the utilization profiles and sustained load reports for the
hypothetical system and the workloads.
