vOPS Standard 6.5 - Hardware Modeling
According to the what's new in this version page:
Hardware modeling – System administrators can simulate hardware refreshes, adding hosts to clusters, or adding entire clusters to a virtual environment. The modeled hardware capacity can then be further modeled out to account for VM movement, additions or decommissions.
My question is where can I find this report / feature. I have been requesting this feature for the better part of year and it appears to have been included. Basically we are refreshing the ESXi hosts in our environment. Given the specs on the servers it would be nice to know how many of them are needed to meet our existing virtual work load. Also given the historic growth rate how many more would be needed over a given period of time.
Thanks

Hi Dan,
You're going to find this functionality under Capacity Manger -> Availability -> Planned Deployment.
This area allows you to create new hardware deployments, both at the Cluster and Host level.
The new data should reflect in Capacity Availability as "future" availability.
Hopefully this helps!

Yeah Brad, that doesn't work. Both the current and future capacity is listed as the same number. I've tried adding a new cluster, a new host to an existing cluster. No joy. Can you point me to some detailed documentation on how to do hardware modeling that shows some meaningful results?
