VMware Modeler views

The VMware Modeler dashboard contains the following view:

•
Migration Modeler view

Migration Modeler view

Purpose

The Migration Modeler view uses the collected data to show the effect that a virtual machine may have on an ESX host during a selected time period. This view can be used to predict potential performance impacts of moving virtual machines to specific physical ESX hosts.

How to Get Here

This view appears on the VMware Modeler dashboard.

Description of Embedded Views

This view is made up of the following embedded views:

•

Projected Storage Consumption
 
Table 95. Projected CPU Consumption
Description

Shows the projected CPU consumption for the ESX host.

Data displayed
•
CPU Capacity. The ESX host’s CPU processing speed.
 
•
Current Host CPU Utilization. The amount of the ESX host’s CPU resources that is used to execute system code and user programs during the selected time period.
 
Table 96. Projected Network Consumption
Description

Shows the projected network utilization for the ESX host.

Data displayed
•
Current Host Network Utilization. The rate at which data is transferred from the ESX host to and from the network during the selected time period.
 
•
Network Capacity (all NICs). The ESX host’s network I/O capacity provided by all of the available network interface cards combined.
 
Table 97. Projected Memory Consumption
Description

Shows the projected memory consumption for the ESX host.

Data displayed
•
Current Host Memory Utilization. The amount of the ESX host’s memory resources that is used during the selected time period.
