 91
The STM Virtualization Dashboard provides quick views into your current
virtualized environment including:
• Asset Summary (including Clusters)
• Capacity Analysis
• Storage by type
• Data stores
• VMDK Utilization
• VMs by last boot time
• Storage Utilization by VM
• VMware snapshots
• Overall performance of each device- CPU, Memory, Disk
Capacity Analysis
Capacity Analysis page will display the current usage of CPU, Memory, Storage, Disk and
Network per VM as well as per ESX level. It estimates the maximum number of VMs that
can be added into the environment based on the target. It also estimates the maximum
number of VMs that can be added at emergency.
For example: If the user sets the target utilization as 80% then 20% is allocated to
Emergency. In this 20%, the number of VMs that can be added, will be the 'Emergency'
VM count.
The 'Host will run out of storage first' is the 'Storage'. If the Current Utilization is 70%, then
(80-70=10) For example: 10% is the available storage. In that 10% the number of VMs
that can be added, based on the average storage per VM is the 'Available' VM count.
P2V Simulator
P2V (physical to virtual) is the migration of operating systems and their
associated applications from physical, dedicated hardware into virtualized
environments. The P2V migration can be handled through specialized software
tools that automate the process. Or, the P2V migration can be performed
manually—for instance, by installing an OS and appropriate applications on an
assigned virtual machine.
To access the P2V Simulator:
1. Click Virtualization > P2V Simulator
2. Select the group you want to simulate and then click Go.
3. Select Target Group and a Physical Server to Virtualize.
