Using vCOPS for capacity planning

I would like to use vCOPS to aggregate the information on the usage of CPU, memory, networking, and storage, then determine how many VMs I can place in an HA cluster, what my slot sizes are, etc.  Is there a reference guide for doing this?  I want to look at the performance requirements of a group of vms that will fit into an ha cluster. Thanks

you should be able to see relevant information in the Planning section of the product.

take a look at below threads for some some details on important aspects of the planning functionality:

Also, you may wish to try a "what-if" scenario.
