Click OK to accept these changes.

Unknowingly accepting unseen values:

This can happen if you modify the headroom calculation after selecting the destination server,
but then click OK without refreshing the destination table with the new values. The resulting
change to the utilization values shown in the System tab view will differ from those seen in
the previously shown destination table because the System tab will reflect the modified values.

When modifying headroom, remember to click Refresh, and check the updated values shown
in the utilization meters in the destination table. Once you have refreshed this table, select a
server based on the new values. If you want the same server that you selected before changing
the values, you must re-select that server to enable the OK button.

The System tab of the Edit Scenario screen opens showing the new virtual machine relationships.

Removing a system

As your scenarios evolve, you might need to remove systems from a scenario to represent planned
or actual changes.

1.

From the System tab of the scenario editor, click in the check boxes beside the systems that
you want to remove from the scenario.

2.

Select Edit

→Remove Systems... from the menu bar.

A confirmation screen listing the systems you are removing will be presented.

3.

Click the OK button.

You will be returned to the Capacity Advisor - Edit Scenario screen with the systems you selected
removed.

Editing network and disk I/O capacity

Use the Edit Network and Disk I/O Capacity page to set the upper bound value of network and
disk I/O capacity for the selected set of systems. Setting this upper bound creates the maximum
capacity value for such items as the network and disk I/O utilization graphs shown for the systems,
the graphs and values shown in a profile viewer, and the HP Smart Solver calculations. Further,
when using Capacity Advisor, the currently set upper bound values here are propagated as the
upper bound values for the systems when a scenario containing the systems are created.

Getting there

From the Visualization view, select a compartment or sub-compartment for a system for which
you want to edit its network I/O and disk I/O capacity.
