Upper Bounds |
 |
Upper bounds represent the maximum capacity of
a resource for a given system. The maximum capacity is used in Capacity
Advisor for items such as the network and disk I/O utilization graphs
of systems, the graphs and values shown in the Profile Viewer, and
the Capacity Advisor Smart Solver calculations.
CPU capacity. The maximum CPU capacity of a system is the product
of the number of CPU cores and the clock speed of the system.
Memory. The maximum capacity of memory is the amount of
memory on the system.
Network I/O. The maximum capacity for network I/O defaults
to the high-water mark (i.e., maximum observed/collected value) for
network I/O. However, to set the upper bound to a value you choose,
select Tools
Edit Network
and Disk I/O Capacity from the Visualization tab in Virtualization Manager.
Disk I/O. The maximum capacity for disk I/O defaults to
the high-water mark (that is, the maximum observed/collected value)
for disk I/O. However, to set the upper bound to a value you choose,
select ToolsEdit Network
and Disk I/O Capacity from the Visualization tab in Virtualization Manager.
Power. Expected maximum and minimum power values for
systems and workloads are computed using the CPU and power utilization
data collected from Insight Power Manager (IPM). However, these values
can also be set manually from either the Virtualization Manager menu
bar or the Capacity Advisor menu bar (select ToolsEdit Power Settings in either location).
