Changing virtualization parameters for a virtualization study
You can also change the virtualization parameters by clicking Advanced on the Targets selection page.
The Change Advanced Settings page defines virtualization parameters such as the maximum number of guests allowed for the target host, network and I/O rates, as well as the amount of CPU overhead that will be used by the target host. You can also set thresholds for the maximum amount of the host server CPU and memory that can be used by any guest.
You can change any of the values shown in the the following table:
Select the Save vales to study profile option if you want the changes you've made on the Change Advanced Settings page to be saved as the default values for the study profile when used for subsequent studies.
There are two ways to specify I/O and network thresholds on the Study Profile or Advanced Settings page:
- Enter specific I/O and network rate values.
- Ask Virtual Planning to calculate threshold values based upon measurements already available in your data.
