When a report is specified, the following items are displayed: The items displayed are report specific.
The following is an example window when Tenant and Host are specified:

The items that are specified are explained below for the different types.


Tenant specified

Item

Description

Tenant

Select the tenant to be analyzed from the tenant menu.


Tenant and Host specified

Item

Description

Tenant

Select the tenant to be analyzed from the tenant menu.

Host

Select the host to be analyzed from the host menu.
The host menu displays the hosts that have been registered with the selected tenant.
This will be empty if a host is not registered in the tenant. Select the tenant where the host is registered.


VMware virtual machine relocation

Item

Description

Tenant

Select the tenant to be used for VMware virtual machine simulation from the tenant menu.

Relocation candidate

Relocation candidate

To add a candidate for reallocation, click [Add], then add using the [Add Relocation candidate] dialog that is displayed.
A list of candidates for reallocation is shown when making additions.
The display format is "host name:virtual machine name".
The maximum number of relocation candidates is 50.
The maximum number of selectable hosts that contain the virtual machines of a relocation candidate is 5.
To delete a candidate for reallocation, click [Delete] for the relevant virtual machine and delete it.
However, as there is no data for L-Servers that have not been run during the specified analysis period, they are not displayed in the results window.

Also, while it is possible to configure without using this product and select a virtual machine that is not being managed as an L-Server, perform one of the following if executing a reallocation:

  • Reallocate using VMware's own functionality

  • After importing as an L-Server, reallocate using this product

Add Relocation candidate

Host

Select the source host from the host menu.

Virtual machine

Select the virtual machine that is the candidate for reallocation.
Multiple options can be selected.
Relationship information with the VM host for virtual machines that have performed migration, deployment, and release operations may not be updated immediately after the operations. The relationship between the VM host and the VM guest may require up to 1 hour to be updated on the screen.
For example, if the migration operation is not reflected, after specifying the pre-migration VM host on the host, select the virtual machine.

Aggregation target's information

Direct input of installed resource
Aggregate to a host in operation

If the consolidation destination host has already been registered in the tenant, select [Aggregate to a host in operation].
The number of CPUs and amount of memory in the specified host are shown as black lines in the displayed graph.
If the host to be consolidated is not registered, select [Direct input of installed resource].

Host

If [Aggregate to a host in operation] was selected, select the consolidation destination host from the menu.
Hosts chosen for consolidation cannot be specified.

CPU
Core Number
Memory

If [Direct input of installed resource] was selected, specify the consolidation destination server CPU clock number (GHz), number of cores in the CPU, and loaded memory capacity (GB) as numbers.

  • Specify a number between 0.001 and 1000 for CPU (clock count).

  • Specify an integer between 1 and 1000 for Core Number for the number of cores in the CPU.

  • Specify a number between 0.001 and 1000000 for the memory.

The specified number of CPUs and amount of memory are shown as black lines in the displayed graph.


Note

Virtual hosts that have been stopped for more than 5 hours do not display virtual machine candidates for reallocation.

6.2.2.2 View Settings

The following explains specifications relating to the number of display items, data intervals, and file output:

The items to be set differ depending upon the report type.

Description

Threshold

Specify the CPU and memory usage rates that will be tolerated on the consolidation destination server (optional).

If this is specified, it is shown as a red line in the graph.

Analysis mode

Specify the analysis method.

  • Hourly
    The maximum value for resource usage by time slot is calculated for each consolidation candidate server and displayed as a stack.
    Check that there is no problem with the resources by time unit after consolidation.

  • Weekly
    The maximum value for resource usage by day of the week is calculated for each consolidation candidate server and displayed as a stack.
    Check that there is no problem with the resources by day of the week unit after consolidation.

  • time-line
    The maximum value for resource usage calculated for each consolidation candidate server and displayed as a stack.

Number of Items Displayed

Select the number of data items to use for analysis.

The number of data items can be selected as follows:

  • Top (Bottom)
    An integer between 1 and 1000 can be entered.
    Only the entered number of data items will be displayed.
    If there is a large amount of data to be displayed, it may be difficult to read the graphs. Therefore, it is recommended you specify 10 items only.

  • All
    All data will be displayed.

Operating time

Specify the time period to output the results of the analysis.
