Overview of Graphs and Reports | |
HP Integrity Essentials Capacity Advisor can generate both graphical and tabular
reports on resource utilization. The reports are produced as HTML Web
pages. The following tasks are described: Generating a quick resource utilization report on a system,
workload, or complex (see
Accessing a Profile Viewer). Generating a report on a scenario, or a collection of systems,
workloads and complexes (see Generating a Report).
Accessing a Profile Viewer | |
The profile viewer provides a quick summary of historical resource
utilization. The profile viewer presents a graphical representation as
well as a tabular summary. Prerequisites. To access the Profile Viewer:
Procedure 4-8 To Access the Profile Viewer If you want to view the profile of a resource in a scenario, you
need to be editing the scenario (see Editing a Scenario). The Capacity Advisor - Edit Scenario screen
will be displayed in a new window. If you want to view the profile of a system: Click the System tab. The System tab will open. Click any of the horizontal bar-graphs representing current
utilization of a resource. The Capacity Advisor - Profile Viewer
screen will be displayed. The type of bar-graph selected (shown by
the heading of the column containing the graph) will determine the
default resource displayed.
If you want to view the profile of a workload: Click the Workload tab. The Workload tab will open. If bar-graphs are displayed: Click any of the horizontal bar-graphs representing
current utilization of a resource. The Capacity Advisor - Profile Viewer
screen will be displayed. The type of bar-graph selected
(shown by the heading of the column containing the graph) will
determine the default resource displayed.
If no bar-graphs are displayed: Click the check box preceding the workload for which you
want to see a profile. The check box will be filled with a check mark and the
line containing the workload will be highlighted to indicate
selection. Select View Workload Profile... from the menu-bar. The Capacity Advisor - Profile Viewer
screen will be displayed.
This step and all subsequent ones are performed on the
Capacity Advisor - Profile Viewer screen. If you want more current data for the profile, click the
Collect Capacity Advisor Data... button. The Capacity Advisor - Profile Viewer screen
will gray out and the busy indicator will be displayed. When the
screen returns to normal and the busy indicator disappears, the graph
and tabular summary will be include the newly collected data. | | | |  | NOTE: This capability is not available while you are editing a
scenario. | | | | |
If you want to change the interval displayed, use the fields
following Interval to change the duration and
ending date. The graph and tabular summary will be updated to display the new
interval. If you want to view the profile information associated with
another resource, click the appropriate radio-button beside
Utilization Metric. The graph and Interval Metric Summary table
will be replaced with content reporting the new metric. In certain situations (such as when you are viewing the profile
for a system or complex), navigational controls are presented beside
the Hierarchy label near the top of the screen,
such as links and drop-down lists that allow you to view parents and
siblings of the current resource profile. Clicking the links or
selecting an item from the drop-down list will allow you to view that
profile. For details, access the help by clicking the
? button. When you are finished reviewing the profile information, click
the Close button. You will be returned to the screen from which the profile viewer
was requested.
Generating a Report | |
Capacity Advisor Utilization Reports provide valuable summaries of
resource utilization. These reports are useful for summarizing current
resource utilization or planning for future Requirements. Reports can be
based on scenarios, complexes, systems, or workloads. | | | |  | IMPORTANT: There is a fundamental difference between reports based on
scenarios and those generated by directly specifying systems,
complexes, and workloads. All metrics reported from scenario based
reports are based on summing the data on the workloads. For reports
based on direct specification of systems, complexes, and workloads,
the metrics reported on systems are actual system utilization values,
and may differ from the sum of the workloads. | | | | |
Prerequisites. To generate a report: You must be logged in to HP Systems Insight Manager (see Accessing Capacity Advisor). You must have already collected data on the systems of
interest (see Collecting Data). You must be authorized and licensed on all systems you wish
to include in the report (see
VSE Management Software Quick Start Guide — Part
Number
T2786-90012).
Procedure 4-9 To Generate a Report This is the selection step. If you want to base your selection
on something other than a scenario, see “Alternative Selection Methods”. If you are not on the Capacity Advisor tab: If the Capacity Advisor tab is visible,
click the Capacity Advisor tab. If the Capacity Advisor tab is not
visible, select OptimizeCapacity AdvisorView Scenarios... from the upper, HP SIM menu bar.
The Capacity Advisor tab will open, with a
list of scenarios. Click the radio button (circle) preceding the scenario about
which you wish to generate a report. The row containing the scenario will be highlighted and the
radio button will be filled in to indicate selection.
Select ReportsCapacity Advisor Report... from the lower menu-bar. The Capacity Advisor - Create Utilization
Reports wizard will be started. | | | | | NOTE: If you are not licensed on any system required for the report,
an error will be reported at this time and you will not be able to
generate the report. | | | | |
Confirm that the components you selected are listed at the top
of the screen, under the Select Report Targets
label. If not, click the appropriate link to edit the selection
(“Edit Scenario Selection...”, “Edit Complex
Selection...”, “Edit System Selection...”, or
“Edit Workload Selection...”) to the right of the
listings to modify the selection.. If necessary, adjust the Date Selection
controls. Click the appropriate check boxes beside the desired components
under Select Report Content. Click the Next button. The Select Report Details screen of the
Capacity Advisor - Create Utilization Reports
wizard will be displayed. Select the appropriate Report
Options. Click the Finish button. The Capacity Advisor Report Created screen
will be displayed. To browse the report: Click the “Browse Report” link. The Capacity Advisor Utilization Report
screen will be presented in a new browser window. Close the window when you have finished browsing the
report.
To save a report, click the “Save Report” link. The browser's dialogs for downloading a file will be displayed.
Follow your browser's process to download the zip file containing
the utilization report. Click the Close button. You will be returned to the screen from which you generated the
report.
Alternative Selection Methods | | | | | NOTE: These procedures substitute for the selection step of the “Generating a Report” procedure. The prerequisites
for that procedure are assumed to be met. | | | | |
Procedure 4-10 To Select Systems and Complexes If you are not on the System tab of the
VSE Management: Virtualization Manager
screen: If the System tab is visible, click
on it. If the System tab is not visible,
select ToolsVSE Management... from the upper, HP SIM menu-bar.
The System tab will open, with a listing
the systems. Click in the check boxes preceding the systems of interest. If
any of the bar-graphs say “No Data”, you will need to
collect data before including the system or complex in a report (see
Collecting Data). Check marks will appear in the check boxes and the systems will
be highlighted.
Procedure 4-11 To Select Workloads Procedure 4-12 To Select Systems or Workloads From a Scenario If you are not editing a scenario, follow the procedure found in
Editing a Scenario. Click the System or
Workload tab. The appropriate tab will open, listing the available systems or
workloads.
