When a physical server is consolidated in the virtual environment, the simulation with high accuracy based on the operation result can be done in Systemwalker Service Quality Coordinator.
Because it can be confirmed whether there is problem in prior based on the simulation result, it is possible to consolidate it in the best virtual environment.
Here, it explains the procedure of the simulation that uses the scenario of the P2V(Physical to Virtual) category.
Point
A virtual consolidating can be examined about the host in the same system group by the following procedures.
Grasp of current state
The Server distribution by rsc. usage cond.(Summary) report of the P2V(Physical to Virtual) category is selected with Analysis/Planning window, the analytical condition is set, and the report is displayed.
Please refer to "4.3 How to Operate the Analysis/Planning Window" for the setting method of the analytical condition.
The situation whether the resource of the entire server that becomes the Element of a virtual consolidating is used or do not use it can be understood at one view. When the server that cannot use the server resource enough is consolidated, the effect or more is achieved.
The List of rsc. usage cond. (Detail) report of the P2V(Physical to Virtual) category is selected on analysis/planning screen, the analytical condition is set, and the report is displayed.
Please refer to "4.3 How to Operate the Analysis/Planning Window" for the setting method of the analytical condition.
In the List of rsc. usage cond. (Detail) report, the resource quota and the amount of each dripping toast of the resource use are displayed by the list.
For instance, it sorts with CPU usage rate and Memory usage rate, and the host that there is becoming empty in the resource is confirmed. The host with a low percentage utilisation is examined as a consolidating candidate.
Please confirm whether the throughput of the disk and the Network is large about the host who makes it to the consolidating candidate.
Simulation of consolidating
The P2V simulation report of the P2V(Physical to Virtual) category is selected with Analysis/Planning window, the analytical condition is set, and the report is displayed.
Please refer to "4.3 How to Operate the Analysis/Planning Window" for the setting method of the analytical condition.
Simulation method: Each time zone
Simulation method: Time series
Simulation method: Each day of the week
Information on the host who consolidates it is displayed in the piling graph and the table.
The combination of hosts who consolidate it is examined when there is bias by the value too large, and time zone and day of the week, etc. about each resource through the period.
When the threshold is set, whether the value is greatly exceeded is confirmed.
