HP Virtualization Manager and HP Capacity Advisor: an introduction

Creating a Capacity Advisor Scenario
In order to perform what-if experiments with Capacity Advisor, a scenario must be created. The
scenario defines the set of systems that will be used in the experiments. Hypothetical workloads
and systems can also be added to scenarios to assist in the planning process. For this example,
the Capacity Advisor scenario will contain the web, payroll, and backup workloads and the re-
spective nPartitions where each of the workloads is currently hosted.
The screen shown in Figure 18-14 shows the first step of the Create New Scenario wizard
in Capacity Advisor. This step involves selecting the appropriate systems to be included in the
scenario.
