Server Consolidation

How many hosts are required?Which Virtual Machines can be placed on each host?Perform What-If scenarios

Server Consolidation Workflow

1. Run Server Inventory

2. Collect Server Utilization Details

3. Run Server Consolidation Assessment

4. Generate proposals and reports

Step2 - Collecting Performance Metrics

AgentlessMetrics gathered every 5 minutesUses WMI Data collected is extensive

MAP

Configuring Performance Metrics

If you know when peaks occur, run it starting 1 hr before peak, let it run until 1 hr after peakIf you don’t know the behavior of the environment, need to run it for a longer time (days or weeks)If possible, try to capture around a business cycle event, such as end-of-month processes

Performance Metrics Impact

Performance samples are taken on 5 minute intervalsNetwork I/O utilization

First sample transfers ~ 2MB of data per computer being observed (perf counter metadata + data)Each subsequent sample transfers ~18-20KB of data per computer being observed (perf counter data only)

Database Disk space utilizationDatabase grows at 53KB per observed machine per hourNew for SQL Express 2008 R2: database size limit is 10GB
