Chapter 9: Capacity planning
l disk space
You can enter a resource container either directly from the Capacity Planning tab,
or by running a search query.
To define a resource container through search:
1. Search for hosts in the Search field.
2. Select one or more of the results.
3. Click Plan to enter the Capacity Planning module. The resource container
is in the upper left of the Capacity Planning module.
The resource container includes the following options:
l Click Load to load a resource container that you previously saved.
l Click Edit to modify, and then save the current resource container.
l Click Pick Cluster to define a resource container more generally, by
specifying all hosts in a cluster.
l Click All Clusters to define a resource container more generally, by
specifying all hosts in all clusters.
After clicking Edit, you can specify the members of a resource container in the
following ways:
l By creating a static list of resources in the container.
l By creating a dynamic set of resources, by compiling a search query to
search for either hosts or clusters. This query is executed in real time for all
capacity planning operations. The benefit of this approach is that you can
constantly update your capacity plan based on a dynamic query. The
disadvantage is that the calculations only happen after the query is
executed.
Note: If you choose to use a cluster, all hosts in that cluster are considered as
resources.
