What is a PRO Tip?
PRO (Performance and Resource Optimization) Tip is a feature that
monitors your virtual infrastructure and provide alerts when there is an
opportunity to optimize the usage of these resources. A PRO Tip window
contains the description of the event that generated the PRO Tip and the
suggested remedial action. This feature allows you to perform a load-balance
of VMs between physical hosts, when specific threshold values are reached.
Alternatively, you can migrate VMs when a hardware failure is detected.
The PRO Tip window in the SCVMM Administrator console enables you to
view active PRO Tips for the host groups. The Operations Manager console
displays the corresponding alerts as well, to ensure a consistent monitoring
experience.
You can manually implement the recommended action mentioned in the
PRO Tip. You can also configure the PRO tip to automatically implement the
recommended action.
