Capacity Planner reports wrong CPU info for Fedora system

• 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.

• 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.

• Capacity Planner - no report?

  Hi all

  I'm doing my first run with Capacity Planner and I run a CBS for our internal environment as a test.  The collector has worked for several weeks and it seems to work fine (data, logs display the data are synchronized, reports run).  However when I connect to http://optimize.vmware.com I can't generate all reports.  If I open the dashboard of company I see data (lists systems, performance indicators, etc.) and the company status that it y 24 systems to consider.  The 'Reports' tab is dimmed and does not respond to clicks.

  I'm sure that a few step or the configuration is missing, but I can't understand what it is.  If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

  Thanks for your time,

  Amanda

  Maybe you should check to define your project... whether the server or desktop.

  Then choose or define the target server that you want to include in the reports.

• Reason for exception Capacity Planner system

  I recently completed an assessment of the capacity of 55 physical servers.  When I created the evaluation report, 47 55 systems were noted as 'System of Exceptions'.  In the body of the report and the reason for all the 47 exceptions is "the system belongs to several groups.  Can someone explain what indicates this meesage?  It would seem, exceptions are being built not for reasons of performance, but for something configuration or procedure that might be corrected-enabling systems to include.

  Sorry for the late post. I was working with mhillard on another assessment, so we discussed and corrected the exception error in server list by creating a ministerial group and added all the servers in this group, then their target in the screenplay and all systems were candidates for virtualization. You did good that there are several groups by IP subnets.

  Thank you!

• Capacity IQ - reports of Virtual Machines

  Using CARON to generate Virtual Machines idle and too little Virtual Machines report takes a long time and sometimes never ends. Any recommendations to speed up the creation of reports?

  He has a bit of analysis that happens during the Idle, bulky and VMs undersized is.  Each virtual machine in the data center is analyzed individually, and if they pass the test, they appear on the list.  The time it takes to create the list depends on the amount of virtual machines in the data center and the amount of history is used.  We work to improve performance, but in the meantime, there are some things you can do:

  1. the amount of data used for the analysis is based on the trend display settings in the global settings area.  The default settings are 4 intervals of one week.  This represents about 1 month of data.  Sometimes, right out of the box, we recommend you to go every day until enough data is collected.  If you select daily and set the number of intervals to 30 represent a month, the amount of data to analyze is about 7 times more.  The first resolution is to set the number of intervals to something small and set the interval to something of superior as weekly or monthly.

  2. an alternative to a slow CIQ is to add resources.  If the device's CPU or memory limited, it would be beneficial to increase the resources for a larger environment.

  3. reduce the number of virtual machines in a data center.  VMware does not dictate the behavior of the Organization of the VMs system that a customer wants to manage, so we would not use this as a last resort.

• 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!

• Differences in total capacity (MHz) reported by vCenter

  I'm still looking through the documentation, but I hope that someone can provide a bit of insight.  When I am connected to our vCenter server and looking at the performance of the host tab, I have the ability to view the total CPU capacity for this host in MHz.

  Each host has two processors 6 cores/CPU.  Up to 12 physical cores at 2 GHz each.  In theory, the total CPU capacity for each host is therefore right to approximately 24,000 MHz.  When I retrieve this metric to each host using a PowerShell script, it returns the expected number (approximately 23 988 MHz for each host.  However, when I look at the paintings of performance in vCenter for each host, it says that each host has a total capacity of 21 520 MHz CPU each.

  Anyone have any ideas why these numbers are different?  Is it a kind of overload vCenter is subtracting these numbers when you view performance dashboards?

  Thank you!

  Welcome to the community - vCenter reports what is available for virtualization - the divergence between abd 21.52 24 is that the ESXi host has its own need for CPU and that is subtracted.

• 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?

• 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.

• Capacity Planner provide placement recommendations?

  Capacity planner provide whose target VM to place on what physical host?

  Thank you!

  Yes - when you perform the analysis modeling server will give you a breakdown of the sit which VM on which the host and the usage levels of CPU, RAM, etc for the specification of the host server you selected.

• 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.
