Capacity Planning in VMware

[signordany]

Iam having Vshpere OM Enterprise plus license , Suggest me a better way to do capacity planning in my enviroment .

[Duncan Epping]

there are many options:

• Use DRS, and look at their
• vCenter Server Perf Graphs
• VROps (this is the product VMware developed for Capacity Planning, but it is not part of your license, it is licensed separately)

There are many blogposts on this topic, but it very much depends on the tools you want to use and what you want to focus on (CPU, Memory, Network. Storage... or all 4?)

The analysis tab in your vrealize operations manager(vCenter operations manager) give a brief on the current capacity remaining

You can also go to each cluster and generate capacity utilization reports.
