User Scenario: Planning Capacity for an Increase in Workload
You are an IT administrator for one of your nancial data centers. You must forecast the capacity
requirements for your virtual infrastructure to plan for an increase in the workload of your cluster and data
center over the next month. To evaluate the demand and supply for capacity on your objects, and forecast
the risk to your current capacity, you create projects and scenarios in vRealize Operations Manager.
Your data center is named Fina_RDDC-01, and includes a cluster named Fina_RDCL-01. You plan to increase
the overall workload on the cluster in this data center by 50 percent in the next month. You must also plan to
add virtual machines and add one or more hosts to this cluster.
In this example, you create a project that includes scenarios to determine the impact of future capacity needs
on your cluster objects. You then create a second project to plan for more capacity needs. Finally, you
examine these projects together in the context of your current capacity so that you can understand the
projected impact of these projects on your future capacity needs.
Prerequisites
Verify that vRealize Operations Manager has collected data for the last several weeks. For information about
connecting vRealize Operations Manager to data sources, see the vRealize Operations Manager Information
Center.
Procedure
1 Create a Sample Project to Increase Workload Capacity on page 84
You are the IT administrator for the nancial data center named Fina_RDDC-01 in your company. You
create a project to plan for an increase in the workload on the cluster named Fina_RDCL-01 by 50
percent in the next month. In the project, you create scenarios that anticipate the eect of the capacity
needs on the hosts, virtual machines, and cluster in the data center.
2 Create a Sample Project to Add a Host and Virtual Machines on page 85
You are the IT administrator for the nancial data center in your company. To plan for capacity needs
on the cluster named Fina_RDCL-01 in the data center named Fina_RDDC-01, you create another project.
In your project, you add virtual machines and a host to the cluster.
3 View the Result of Your Capacity Projects on page 86
You are the IT administrator responsible for the data center named Fina_RDDC-01. You view the eects
of the projects and scenarios that you created on the overall capacity of the cluster in your data center.
Create a Sample Project to Increase Workload Capacity
You are the IT administrator for the nancial data center named Fina_RDDC-01 in your company. You create a
project to plan for an increase in the workload on the cluster named Fina_RDCL-01 by 50 percent in the next
month. In the project, you create scenarios that anticipate the eect of the capacity needs on the hosts,
virtual machines, and cluster in the data center.
You use your new project and scenario to determine what happens to the capacity of the objects in your
environment when you plan for an increase in demand.
Prerequisites
n
Understand the scope of this sample workow. See “User Scenario: Planning Capacity for an Increase in
Workload,” on page 84.
n
Verify that the cluster named Fina_RDCL-01 in your data center named Fina_RDDC-01 includes multiple
hosts and virtual machines.
