Capacity Advisor methodology makes certain assumptions in its data analysis.
These assumptions include using a default CPU scale factor and normalization
based on CPU speed. The user can introduce a different scale factor to better
approximate the configuration being modeled in a what-if scenario. Memory is not normalized. Scale factors can
be set on the Capacity Advisor Edit Workload and Move Workload screens.
On the Edit Scenario screen, the user selects either the System or Workload
tab to manipulate the scenario and specifies which metric to
view: average, 90th percentile, peak or max
15–min (maximum 15–minute sustained). Units to view
can be absolute or in percentages. By changing the metrics to view, the user
can explore multiple options for system and workload deployment.
