What-If Analysis - Workload Planning: Hyperconverged and VMC on AWS

You can perform Hyperconverged Infrastructure workload planning by adding or removing VMs to
VMware vSAN
activated clusters and running What-If scenarios.
VMware Aria Operations
shows you if the proposed workload fits or does not fit in the suggested location. If it fits, the results list the prime target cluster and any additional possible locations. The system also projects time remaining before the workload runs out of resources. .

Where You Find What-If Analysis - Workload Planning: Hyperconverged

In the left menu, click
Plan
Capacity
. The Capacity Plan page opens. Click
What-If Analysis
and in the What-If Analysis page, click the
ADD
button. In the Workload Planning: Hyperconverged tile, click
Add VMS
or
Remove VMS
.

How What-If Analysis - Workload Planning: Hyperconverged Works

You define scenarios that can potentially add or remove workloads to
VMware vSAN
environment. The workload scenarios are based on VMs associated with specific storage policy related factors (such as FTT, RAID).
When a workload is added based on imported VMs, and the VM is currently in a
VMware vSAN
-activated cluster, the
VMware vSAN
policy settings are not applied and the current VM disk space is taken as is.

Capacity and Cost Planning Support for Virtual Machines - VMC Datacenter

You can now perform capacity planning and cost calculations for a virtual machine (VM) in hyper-converged environment where the VM is part of the Vmware Cloud on Amazon Web Services (VMC) cluster.
VMware Aria Operations
provides accurate capacity recommendations and cost calculations when you add or remove VMs in hyper-converged environment from VMC data centers.
The cost calculation is based either on bills collected by VMC adapter or based on reference. To know more about VMC costing, see the topic VMware Cloud on AWS Cost Management in
VMware Aria Operations
in the
VMware Aria Operations
Configuration
guide.
