Question :

Do the new Capacity reposts and analysis take into account HA + Buffers.  I cannot find anywhere to check if it does.  It was visible in the old policies

Any luck finding out how to set the HA & Buffers?

No , not yet!!

There is no way to set a HA buffer in 6.7 as all allocation model functions have been removed from the UI ( you can still access some of them using the rest api)

If you want to use the allocation model you will need to create some supermetrics that will include a buffer

Just to add. HA buffers are automatically accounted for in vROps 6.7. If you have enabled HA and enabled Admission Control, the defined buffer in vSphere will automatically be deducted from the vSphere clusters capacity in vROps.

Hi Sunny

thanks for comments.  I have HA and Admission Control Enabled ( 50% ) but anything I have looked at in 6.7 seems to be displaying capacity based on the total CPU cores rather than the expected 50%. Can you direct me to the appropriate Dashboards/ reports which include HA?

thanks

John

Can you review the out of box Utilization Overview Dashboard. This dashboard shows the Usable Capacity for each cluster after removing HA buffer.
