Capacity Definitions

Using the predictive analytics capabilities of VMware Aria Operations through capacity definitions, the Management Pack for IBM PowerVC populates capacities as indicated in the table below.

Resource Kind	Calculated Capacity Metric	Max Metric	Usage Metric
power_system	Host Memory	metric_key_value_of_100_custom_metric	memory_utilization
power_system	Host CPU	metric_key_value_of_100_custom_metric	cpu_utilization
storage	Storage Capacity	total_capacity	used_capacity
virtual_machine	Virtual Machine Memory	metric_key_value_of_100_custom_metric	memory_utilization
virtual_machine	Virtual Machine CPU	metric_key_value_of_100_custom_metric	cpu_utilization

Important:

The "metric_key_value_of_100_custom_metric" values in the max metric columns are how we the metrics as a percentage (i.e. the usage metric is always out of 100).

To access the capacity definitions:

1. Navigate to Environment > IBM PowerVC.

2. Double click on IBM PowerVC.

3. Select the appropriate resource.

4. Select the Capacity tab.
