New material in Capacity Planner

• Is it possible to move a Capacity Planner database between partners VMware ID?

  Hello

  I have an installation Capacity Planner, set up by a former partner of VMWare. It is still running and configured to do pretty much what I want to do, so I no need to remove and re-create it. I can not just to create a new company in my dash then stick the database id, he complains as being 'already possessed.

  Can anyone provide a solution to this?

  Mike

  My understanding is no, you can't, you can offer to do the CP using your dashboard of the companies. You can try asking the other company to create an account in this corporate ID and allow you to have access to the data in this way.

  It might also be possible to get the original CP partner to disconnect the collector (ID) and provide you with the collector ID to attach to your new ID of company in your dashboard - never tried so I don't know if it's possible. Most partners are not too to give they collected data of another competitor, so I would not take on a lot of luck of what happens even if it were possible.

• Capacity Planner tool query

  I have following queries about this tool:

  1 can I use several model material for one scenario for example if I need to develop two types of material saying low and high-end and would like to place the result of the VM, is there an available way to achieve this?

  2. If the server under evaluation receive their IP address of the DHCP server and evaluating servers go down during the assessment and it comes back later with diffferent IP how corelate the previous data?

  3. as a follow-up to Question #2, what happens if the IP remains same. It will be able to collect data from the systems being evaluated?

  4. I need to understand the "Averge industry" in detail. What is the basis of filling it and how he is referred to as "Standardized", without providing details.

  First of all. My experience of the Capacity Planner tool is old, then you want to dubble some offsets verify what I say.

  1. you must decide what systems are low-end and high-end. Then, you make a scenario using the 'high end' group modeled on high-end hardware. Then, obviosly, the Group of low range on a low-end hardware. To my knowledge there is no way for the Capacity Planner automatically determine what are the high or low end systems and plce on different hardware models.

  2 capacity planner will then see that as two different systems, BUT, even if you have a DHCP server based Park (which is not so common actually) server and the server has been down longer the term of the lease to configure the DHCP scope the first thing that the server will ask you when it comes is back the permission to use the last him, called IP address. So if that is not granted to a plaintiff again the server will come with its old IP address in most cases.

  3. Yes

  4. the 'average/standard industrial' is simply statistical. For example if the average of 1000 SQL servers out there shows a specific behavior and your SQL Server performed way differently (uses a lot more resources), then you might want to consider why your implementation is so different. To avoid purchase Super material just to accommodate a messed-up SQL Server when you might be happier with a slower material, or less, if you just set your SQL implementation. That's all.

  Hi Mac Shrike,

  Thanks for posting your responses to answers.microsoft.com

  Just to start immediately on what, in my view, would be the best steps is to update the chipset of the motherboard to the latest revision.

  'Install pipe1' points to a USB port, lead writing and information "root\scsiadapter\0000" brings to the controller integrated on the motherboard.  I'm not saying that these are defective, I want to just make sure that the Chipset and bios, and all integrated drivers for the motherboard are installed and the latest revisions of manufacturers.

  Once this is accomplished, and if the error persists, is there any software to virtual drive installed on this system.  If yes what can cause this error.  Try disabling them and see if the errors still occur.

  Let us know by referring to this, if we can help you further.

• 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.

• 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?

  Thank you

  Do you not see that the systems when you open the tab 'Select systems' for you're your project in "Administration"-> "my projects"?

• 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.

• 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.

  (administration-> my project->, and then choose your project)

• Capacity Planner and SLES 11?

  Have a look at the 2.8 of capacity planning guide, it seems to stop at SUSE ss9 and SUSE 10

  SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9
  SUSE Linux 10
  SUSE Linux 9
  SUSE Linux 8

  I wonder if version 11 works fine but just not has not been updated or so precisely it collects no data correctly in the most recent version? It seems strange to stop support for SUSE to earlier versions.

  We need to monitor many different types that are not even in the list. While there SSH with root access, capacity planner is good to go.
