What-if scenarios are only available on clusters, but what if you are planning for a cluster that hasn't been provisioned yet?
For example you are going to add x number of VMs requiring x amount of RAM and CPU resources. You want to know if you create a brand new cluster with a server type never used before in the environment, what does that look like?
You want to answer questions like:
Can what-if scenarios be used in some way or a different strategy be employed to get this information?
I'd say create an empty cluster resource within vCenter. Then after vCOps collects it, run a what-if to add hosts/datastores/VMs.
OK thanks for the input
