Configuration tab

The Configuration tab provides the recommended settings for CPU, memory, and storage optimization.

•

Thresholds. Provides the values of a resource metric that define the Warning and Critical levels (for CPU, memory, and storage).

•

Recommendation Calculation area. Allows you to define the following parameters for optimizing the CPU, memory resources in your environment, Storage resources not supported at current version:

•

Reserve Margin [x]%. This parameter is used for calculating the Evaluation Result, which is needed for making recommendations. The Recommendation Reserve Margin percentage is the percentage above the recommended basis, reserved for unexpected increases in utilization.

•

Acceptable Variation. This parameter is used for calculating the Evaluation Result, which is needed for making recommendations. The Acceptable Variation percentage is the minimum percentage deviation of the Evaluation Result from the current setting, which results in a recommendation. The Acceptable Variation value is the minimum difference between the Evaluation Result and the current setting, which results in a recommendation.

•

Recommended Basis. Use this list to select the “Recommended Basis” to be used for calculating the Evaluation Result. Currently just support Average Utilization.

•

Evaluate calculation over this period of time [x] Day(s). Defines the time interval during which the right-sizing calculation is performed.

•

History Period [x] Day(s). The Change History view displays the changes for the time interval defined here.

•

Time period used for average calculation is [x] Days. Defines when a resource is considered a zombie VM, by looking at the period used for average calculations.

•

Average Resource Utilization-Deviation. Defines when a resource is considered a zombie VM, by looking at the CPU, memory, disk throughput, and network utilization values.


	TIP: Deviation is the maximum deviation from the average resource utilization that is allowed for a VM considered to be a zombie.

To save any changes made to the Waste settings, click Save at the bottom of the tab.
