Hi All!
I need to plan for a new cluster (how many hosts are needed) based off average demand from a VM in an existing cluster. Is this possible? I cant seem to find a way to do it without it including existing capacity of the older cluster... I havent upgraded to 6.7 yet so havent had a chance to check whether a "What-If" would do what i require
Thanks!
In Vrops 6.7 there was major change with respective to capacity , refer below Video :

I am aware of the change in 6.7 but im looking for a way of designing cluster size in 6.6 e.g. if i create a cluster of 20 Hosts (using existing host example) with 400 VMs (using existing vm example) what will my resource utilization look like.
Admittedly i could do this manually using reported demand figures & host capacity but i was hoping vRealize would be able to provide design assistance based off the metrics its collected.
When you say design assistance assistance what exactly are you expecting from vrops ?

ultimately i want it to tell me "you need X number of Hosts to run X number of VMs" based off collected demand metrics but i would settle for it showing me "what-if i add 20 hosts & 400 VMs will my utilization look like?"... However that later would need to be a new cluster and not take into account existing cluster resource
I haven't come across anything which says you the number of host that is required to run these many VM's .
I see it says how much requires are required not the number of hosts.
