• 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"?

• 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, I intend to use migrate 40 physical server to virtual... I'm planninmg to use Vmware Capacity Planner, but I based on the web two method and the free agent method. For the method based on the Web, I got a website but didn't register for capacity planner so I am not able to connect to the site https://optimize.vmware.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=security & page = users_login_form.cfm and I get no registration on this site... Please help me how to sign up for the planner of abilities... or let me know how to use the free agent method... Thanks Tiwari

  What operating system is supported for VMware Capacity Planner?

  Capacity Planner requires Windows 2000 or 2003 with a system of operating language ASCII. The practice of VMware mandates us English Windows 200 x operating system as the best.

  Capacity Planner collects since Windows NT 3.51, NT 4.0, 2000, and 2003; Red Hat Linux 8 and 9 Enterprise Linux (ARE/AS/WS) 3 and 4; SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9; 9, 10 and 8 HP - UX 10.x, 11.0, 11.11, 11.22 (PA-RISC) and 11.23 (Itanium); and environments operating Solaris 7, 8, 9 and 10 (Sparc) and 9 and 10 (x 86). -in the FAQ Technical Capacity Planner

  Belongs to VMware Capacity Planner virtual Center?

  N ° as Yattong mentioned previously, there is a feature in VirtualCenter guided Consolidation.  This function serves a purpose similar to the Capacity Planner, but only with the guided Consolidation feature can not involved you an external partner.  If you want to use the Scheduler to full-on Capactiy, you need to associate a VMware partner to do this.  If you use a larger store, the Capacity Planner approach may be merit to be studied.  Otherwise, give the Consolidation guided to try first and see what you come up with.  Then you can decide whether or not to involve partners VMware.

  Good luck!

• 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.

  There are 4 cores... Heart 0-4, I think that capacity planner can be a problem with the counts of base 0. I would like to raise this issue with the people of capacity planner.

• 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.

• 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.

• What metrics to use for memory capacity planning? Active or consumed (in request or use vROPS)

  Hey all,.

  I was wondering once more what metrics to use for memory capacity planning. Since the information from different sources (for example your ESXi host needs more RAM to Iwan Rahabok or VMworld 2012: Session VSP1729 - virtualized memory understanding performance management - Eric Sloof - NTPRO.NL Kit Colbert) pointing all assets (vROPS request), I expect that when we have high memory consumption / use in vCenter there will be no balloon / compression / permutation.

  Also the metric active / request should not be used for all workloads (e.g. Java / DB), why is - this? I have not found the reason of this anywhere, only the fact.

  Other sources such as Mark Achtemichuk suggests using consumed/use, which is the opposite (Understanding Active Memory - VMware vSphere Blog - Articles VMware vSphere).

  So I thought I'll with active / demand as metric and ignoring the warnings inside of vCenter.

  But the last time we have fixed half of our group, we had consumed/high memory usage and the vCenter began to inflate, compress, and finally to Exchange. Not a lot but I had not expected that, because memory active was only a small percentage of consumed.

  Can someone explain to me why this happened and who is right on this issue.

  Kind regards

  jengl

  jengl I don't know if you asked the wrong question, or I give the wrong answer :-)

  It is always good to attach screenshots, background to the issues, and what exactly you are trying to solve.

  You wrote:

  So to summarize:

  -ESXi uses consume to decide when to start the recovery techniques of memory RAM

  -To rightsize VMs for RAM, you must use the counter inside the BONE, not active

  -If you do not want to commit too much RAM and have a lot of the balloon you should right-size your virtual machines or extend the RAM / buy additional servers

  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  My answer: you are right. If you do not have access to the guest operating system, then Active VM and VM consumed are better guess. Better than nothing :-)

  Sizing sizing of VM and ESXi are 2 different things (2 use cases) different. Please don't mix up the as soon as they are confusing. Do not try to resize the virtual machine when you are sizing the ESXi, unless you have a control total on them.

  You wrote:

  The question for me is: how many cache (standby under Windows) inside the VM is really necessary for the virtual machine to get the best performance without wasting resources. Perhaps this issue can be resolved only by tests or do you know another option?

  My answer: it's a different topic brother :-) It is different, because it is within a guest operating system (Windows in this case) and is no longer at the level of the ESXi. Suggest that post you another, possibly under Windows or vSphere too :-)

• 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 - 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,

  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.

• Strength of re - download all the data the Capacity Planner tool

  Hello

  I have a situation where a colleague installed Capacity Planner on a site and left on for more than a month before having a capacity planner account in the warehouse of VMWare (optimize.vmware.com).

  This means that the tool has been happily collecting data locally but he not sent to the Web site.

  He obtained his full story last week and made the link to the online store by registering its local database with the site ID. However, it seems that the capacity planner tool has not downloaded all the data it has collected - he made only in the last two weeks, and it doesn't seem it's going to 'catch up' and recover old data.

  I looked in the local Access database and you can see all the old data in there. Question - is it possible to force a re-synchronization of all data in the local database, while the old data are sent to the server? I tried Admin/Options/Modules, enter the work of data synchronization and uncheck everything except export data collection and send data, then manually run this task of data synchronization, but he only made a partial dump of the data.

  If the data have never been sent to VMware.  The data must be in the folder "c:\program files\vmwaer\vmware capacity planner\outbox.

  If the data have been sent, and archive check box has been selected, the data must be in the folder "c:\program files\vmwaer\vmware capacity planner\archive.

  If the data has been sent and the box archive was not checked, then the data will be only at VMware.  You will need to contact vmware to reprocess data.

• 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.
