Hi all,
I am starting the journey of sizing approximately 30 HP Proliant DL360's and DL380's to a VMWare optimized solution (sizer is HP ProLiant server sizer for VMware ESX Server)
Workload is AD, Exchange, IIS, SQL, Oracle, System Center OpsMan/ConfigMgr
How does one calculate Avg/Max Disk IOPS and Avg/Max Network Throughput so I can ensure correct sizing based on HP .xls sizer worksheet?
I'm going to use the following perfmon counters and running counter logging for approximately 2 weeks on the above Servers.
Avg CPU Utilization (%)
Peak CPU Utilization (%)
Processor\%Processor Time\_Total
Avg RAM Usage (MB)
Peak RAM Usage (MB)
Memory Available Mbytes then subtract amount of RAM.
Avg Disk Throughput (IOPS)
Peak Disk Throughput (IOPS)
PhysicalDisk\Disk Bytes/sec\_Total
Avg Network Throughput (MBps)
Peak Network Throughput (MBps)
Network Interface\Bytes Total/sec
Thanks to all who read/reply/offer advice.
