How to access capacity forceasting
Toolbar > Planning
key capacity management concept
capacity runway (storage runway, memory runway, cpu runway)
Which runway is displayed for each cluster?
The lowest runway
Review memory runway details
Planning > Capacity Runway > Cluster X > Left Pane > Memory Runway
Bully VM
VM that might impact other VMs on the node
Optimize resources
Planning > Capacity Runway > Cluster X > Left Pane > Optimize Resources > View Inefficient VMs
Generate resource usage report
Planning > Capacity Runway > Cluster X > Left Pane > Optimize Resources > Get report
What if modelling definition
- Just in time modelling
- Simulates the impact of future additional workload
Accessing what if modelling
Planning > Scenarios > Get Started
What if modelling params
- Impacted Cluster (New, existing)
- target (duration)
- Worload type (SQL, based on existing VM, etc.)
- Date of workload addition
- Number of VMs
What are the end resulting action of capacity modeling?
1) Sizing Recommendation
2) Generate Report
Accessing enterprise search
Search icon at the top right corner of prism central GUI
Example search queries
1) show me power off vms
2) vms where cpu usage is greater than 70%
