Solaris Dashboard


Use the Solaris Dashboard to analyze and manage the capacity of the Solaris infrastructure in your environment. The dashboard shows the key capacity metrics and charts of Solaris LDOMs and zones. You can use this information for capacity analysis.

The dashboard displays data for the following system types:

  • Virtual Machine - Solaris LDOM
  • Virtual Host - Solaris
  • Virtual Machine - Zone

Important

Do not make the dashboard editable by using the Make editable option in the dashboard settings. If you want to customize the dashboard, we recommend that you create a copy of the dashboard and customize it.

Example: Visualize and analyze the capacity of the Solaris infrastructure

Paul is a capacity planner in an IT organization. He is responsible for planning and managing the infrastructure capacity, and wants to manage the capacity of the Solaris infrastructure.

Paul can use the out-of-the-box Solaris Dashboard to analyze the capacity-specific parameters of this Solaris infrastructure. He can verify whether any of the parameters are saturated or nearing saturation. This information can help him plan for the appropriate capacity-specific changes in the infrastructure to mitigate risks.
