You are the IT administrator responsible for the data center named Fina_RDDC-01. You view the eects of the
projects and scenarios that you created on the overall capacity of the cluster in your data center.
View both of your projects so that you can visualize the anticipated requirements simultaneously. Use the
results to plan your overall capacity needs for the cluster named Fina_RDCL-01 in the data center named
Fina_RDDC-01.
Prerequisites
Create a project so that you can plan to add hosts and virtual machines to the cluster named Fina_RDCL-01.
See “Create a Sample Project to Add a Host and Virtual Machines,” on page 85.
Procedure
1 Select your cluster named Fina_RDCL-01, and click the Projects tab.
2 In the Projects list, select the project named Fina RDCL Q1 Planning, and drag it to the pane just above
the Projects list.
3 Select the project named Fina RDCL-01 Hosts_VMs Q1 Planning, and drag it to the pane just above the
Projects list.
4 To view both projects in the visualization chart, from the Project View drop-down menu above the
chart, select Combine projects in this visualization.
The combined values for your projects appear in the visualization chart.
What to do next
Determine whether to commit the projects so that you can reserve the capacity on the objects in your data
center.
