• VMware Capacity Planner data report - shows don't not all systems in the dashboard Version 2.7

  I worked on an evaluation with over 1300 machines for a few weeks now. I just ran a VMware capacity Planner data report today and it shows that 37 systems. Anyone else having this problem? I started a Monday SR something else and still have no answer, so I thought I would try the forum first this time.

• Thresholds of system capacity Planner

  I would like to know if there is a way to fix the system for Capacity Planner for reports limits. I know that I can do when creating optimization scenarios but when I run report it sends 83 systems that are not virtualization candidates. I know that these machines are good candidates because I already use a couple in the production. The spec that throws everything off is the pagination (Pgs/sec). By default, Vmware uses 200. People on the forums and my teacher Capacity Planner said that it should be longer as 10 000. Of course if I have a script to optimize these systems and make these changes of paging, systems are then added to the sys column and are removed from the column of exception systems. I need to submit reports on these systems however.

  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

  Hi Rob,

  You can change the threshold of change scenarios that are used for optimization reports.  There are two scenarios and they are marked with *.

  To change scenarios, go to analyze = > optimizing food and click the scenario names who wear * before the name.

  Follow the wizard until you reach the page "adjust the system thresholds.

  Please note that there are two scenarios with * and you must change both of them.

• Difference between file system capacity and the capacity of the disks in Capacity Planner reports

  Hello

  I had to go on my Capacity Planner tool training soon, but I have a question on the front that frustrates me. In the evaluation report that comes out of the tool after the analysis, a use of disc section, which lists all the servers for analysis there. A column of this report is directed to file system capacity, another disk capacity. In all cases, the first is less than the latter. What is the exact meaning of these labels?

  Some of the numbers differ substantially between the columns, for example 20 GB for a capacity of 36 GB of disk space for a server and file system. He said that only 20 GB to 36 GB disk is formatted/partitioned to use?

  As previously stated:

  Disk capacity is 36 GB - physically, there are 36 GB of storage.

  File system is logical capacity - the amount of space used by files on the disks.

  File system and the capacity of the disks will never match because fees General table of file.

  I hope this helps.

• Capacity Planner reports wrong CPU info for Fedora system

  Hello

  I do an exercise Capacity Planner for a customer who has two IBM x 3650 servers Fedora Core. These two have 2 dual core Xeon 5160 of Intel processors. Capacity Planner reports the number of CPU as 3 however. Certainly, this should be 4 (2 x 2 hearts). Capacity Planner gets its information on processors in the file/proc/cpuinfo. I inspected this file (I think) that lists correctly 4 cores. I've included the output below.

  Someone at - it ideas?

• vCheck 5 'capacity Planner Info'

  Hey all -

  I recently start diving into the world of powercli and read many messages of Luc et Al. I came across the vCheck script a few months ago and he watched briefly. I am now responsible for coming up with some information about the ability of my superiors and it seems that the vCheck script has some valuable information in it. My problem is the 'capacity Planner Info' I'm not sure what he said. I'd really like to see if this information will help you. I have attached a picture below of my results, but not clear how to act on it. A bit of clarification would help so I can finish my report this weekend.

  Kind regards

  Mark

  In the report vCheck Alan performs a theoretical calculation of the capacity of comments, cpu and mem with, for a cluster.

  The formula is not too difficult to understand:

  • capacity cpu and mem 'real' cluster. It comes to the number of hosts in the cluster under level specified in the settings of cluster failover. For example (I only show cpu, mem is similar):
    • A cluster has 8 nodes.
    • Each node has 4 x 3 Ghz = 12 GHZ cpu capacity. The cluster has a total capacity of 96 GHz cpu.
    • Cluster failover level corresponds to 2 knots
    • The script calculates the 'real' as cpu capacity: 96 GHz - ((96 GHz * 2) / 8) = 72 GHz
  • the average CPU utilization of the cluster in the last 7 days.
    • This example uses the Get-Stat cmdlet with the cpu.usage.averagemhz metric.
  • the number of virtual machines on the cluster
  • the average use of the high VMS using cpu processor page
    • It calculates the average CPU utilization of all virtual machines on the cluster
    • He selects the virtual machines that use more than this average utilization of the processor
    • It calculates the average use of the these albums VMs-use of cpu processor
  • a theoretical value of the use of cpu for a single virtual machine, by dividing the above "average high of virtual machines using cpu processor utilization" by the number of virtual machines on the cluster
  • Finally, it takes the ability to 'real' of the bunch, subtracts CPU utilization of the high VMS using cpu processor of the 'average' page and divides it by the 'cpu use theoretical value for a single virtual machine"

  Note that this is an indicationand not an exact science, of how much capacity you have left in your cluster.

  There are other formulas used to calculate indicators.

• VMware Capacity Planner: Not enough data.

  Dear friends,

  I have faced a problem with Vmware Capacity Planner. I get the error message no sufficient data not collected. But I can see nominative colleacted under the name of the company. I can view the files downloaded and processed inventory and performance. In addition, the report tab is not functional.

  Please do not advise.

  Thank you

  Pravesh

  CP sends always properly deltas of the inventory of what I have seen in the past.

  If you have added servers and they show OK in the report of missing data, then forcing a complete inventory should do the trick. The thing is that you must activate it in the right place. If you do a MANUAL synchronization, you must select the full inventory of strength under modules. If you wait for the next scheduled synchronization, you do it under scheduled tasks.

  Ignore the suggestion of proxy. If some of the data is how to get there, then internet proxy settings are correct.

• Collector capacity Planner

  Is is possible to assign the same collector to two different customer id without causing problems?

  Hi Rob,

  On the site of VMware Capacity Planner, you can create groups of system assessment - group system.  You can configure the report of the EC to only select the group in the report.

  Looks like you are using a collector to collect data from different location in different time period.  You can also choose what time is best for your report of the CE.

• Y at - it update Dell Capacity Planner or similar?

  Hello.  I searched for a calculator / planner that will tell me the power requirements of the Dell Poweredge 13 G rack of servers with various configurations.

  I found a copy of the DataCenter Capacity Planner to http://www.dell.com/html/us/products/rack_advisor_new/, that looks like exactly what I want, except that it lists only the old servers.

  Y at - it a more updated version of this somewhere?  Or he was replaced by another tool?

  Thanks for any help.

  (PS. I was going to make this post in the PowerEdge Rack HW forum, but for some reason that I can't create messages in this one).

  Hello.

  The tool you are looking for is called the Dell Energy Smart Solution Advisor (ESSA). See the link: www.dell.com/.../config_calculator. You will also find the Data Center Capacity Planner (DCCP) at the bottom of the same page.

• Import Performance data in VMware Capacity Planner

  VMware Capacity Planner has the ability to import performance data in data manager or you must collect data from performance via the Capacity Planner software?

  Hello wgmaurerEMC,

  
  

  You can collect data from target of UNIX and Linux machines running the CP shell on each target computer scripts

  rather than run the scripts through the host of collector.

  Please, see page 47 of the CP reference Guide attached on how to implement the manual execution of scripts.

• New material in Capacity Planner

  Hello

  Sorry if these are fundamental questions - his age since I used ability cards!

  I look at is equipment and ability cards models - but all systems are quite old. Do new systems added automatically or is there and easy way for me to add a? For example, I was hoping to use Lenovo X 3650 servers in my assessment of consolidation, but there is no entry of Lenovo, I see. Even former IBM 3650 x models are not suitable.

  No one knows when the capacity planner is updated to include the version 6 of vSphere?

  Finally, for the system settings there are three parameters of the disc for a host ESXi - size, speed and i/o speed, what should be? Am I right in assuming that the size is the size of the storage SAN (in my case 40 to), the speed is the speed of connection (in my case 8 GB FC) and the e/s? (No idea). Or am I wrong?

  Thanks a lot for your help!

• Capacity Planner

  Hello

  The one you suggest, how can we use Scheduler capability to set the capacity of the ESXi servers for consolidation?

  Is this only allowed for partners and vmware?

  Please suggest.

  Concerning

  Mahesh

  Hello Manu,

  Welcome to the community!

  Yes, Planner cappacity is allowed only for vmware partners!

  Contact vmware or vmware partner! Capacity planner will install on any machine in the network for a month or whatever.

  the data will then be uploaded to optimize.vmware.com.

  then the VMWare will be comeupp to the requirements.

• Capacity planner, no data help

  Sorry if this is the wrong place for this topic, but I can't find a specific forum for the capacity planner.

  I installed a collector on a site and registered 20 machines. I registered the database ID in the dashboard. the collector is collecting information regularly and it shows that the data are uploaded. but I waited for 3 days now and the dashboard shows always do not all data.

  am I missing something? where should I start looking?
