Specifications

l Average VMs: This column displays the number of VMs you can add,
based on the average resources consumed by VMs within the usage profile.
l Large VMs: This column displays the number of VMs you can add if you
only add the largest VMs within the usage profile, which consume the most
resources.
For a more visual representation of the number of VMs you can add, click
Capacity in the bottom of the Capacity Planning module.
The bar chart on the left shows all the clusters or hosts. If the resource container
you used for the calculations holds clusters, the chart shows clusters. If the
resource container holds hosts, the chart shows hosts. Each of the consumed
resources is represented per cluster or host. The chart provides an overview of
the latest resource utilization information across the given resource container.
The Remaining Capacity bars of the bar charts on the right show the number of
VMs that may be added. The charts display the following information:
l VM capacity by CPU
l VM capacity by memory consumption
l VM capacity by disk space consumption
l VM capacity by storage I/O consumption
l VM capacity by network I/O consumption
Note: The charts take into account the settings you specify in Advanced Options,
and are refreshed whenever you click Update in the Advanced Options section,
or click Calculate at the top right of the Capacity Planning module. For more
information, see Advanced options.
