Capacity Advisor methodology makes certain assumptions
in its data analysis. These assumptions include using a default CPU
scaling factor and normalization based on CPU speed. You can introduce
a different scaling factor to better approximate the configuration
being modeled in a what-if scenario. Memory is not normalized. Scale
factors can be set on the Capacity Advisor Edit Workload and Move
Workload screens. See“Adjusting for Platform Changes” for more information.
On the Edit Scenario screen, you can select either
the System or Workload tab
to manipulate the planning scenario and specify
which metric representation to view: average, 90th percentile, peak or max 15-min (maximum 15-minute sustained). The Meter Style can be absolute numbers or in percentages. By changing the metrics
to view, you can explore multiple options for system and workload
deployment. See “ Controlling the Data Display” for more information.
