4 Using Imported Data in Scenarios

This section describes how to use workload data from non-VSE systems in a Capacity Advisor

scenario. To import non-VSE workload data, do the following:

1. In the Capacity Advisor GUI, select a Scenario into which to import the non-VSE workload.

Use the Modify→Edit Scenario menu pick to launch the Edit Scenario screen.

2. In the Edit Scenario screen, select the What-If Action→Create Workload menu pick. This

action displays the “Edit Scenario - Create Workload” screen. In this screen, activate the

radio button "Use profile data from workload" and choose a non-VSE workload from the

"Import Profile Values" workload list. Choose the name of the non-VSE workload to be

imported from the drop-down list. See Figure 2 (page 9) for an example of the Create

Workload screen. After filling in the other fields in the form, click OK; the what-if workload

is then listed in the Edit Scenario page.

3. The new workload can be moved to any system, real or what-if, in the scenario.
