a.
Enter a value for network I/O in Mb/s.
b.
Enter a value for disk I/O in MB/s.
NOTE:
If desired, you can set the manual maximum value to be greater than the observed
maximum.
The designated values are used to populate the Selected Systems table and are applied

Working with workloads
Introduction
Workloads represent applications running on systems.
IMPORTANT:
For specific descriptions of each field or summary table on the user interface
screens, click the help topic link
on the software screen for the task.
All of the procedures described in this section can be accessed from the Workload tab menus in
the scenario editor. From the Planning tab, click the scenario that you want to modify to open the
editor.
TIP:
For lists of all menu options for Capacity Advisor features, see “Menus & tabs” in Capacity
Advisor Help.
Creating a workload
When you are modeling future configurations, you can create new workloads to represent
applications that will be added. The workload can be based on either a static baseline or profile
data from an existing workload.
1.
To preselect the system on which to run the workload:
•
From the System tab in the scenario editor, click the check box preceding the system on
which you want to run the workload(s).
2.
Select What-If Action
→Create Workloads... from the menu bar.
The Edit Scenario: Create Workloads screen opens.
3.
Fill in the Workload Name(s) with a unique name.
IMPORTANT:
While Capacity Advisor will inform you when the workload name that you
have designated is not unique (a workload with the same name has been discovered by
Systems Insight Manager), it cannot check names of workloads that have not yet been
discovered or created. Use names that you believe will not be used in the future (during the
useful life of the scenario).
4.
Optionally, add a detailed description of the workload(s) in the Workload Description field.
