Capacity Advisor methodology makes certain assumptions
in its data analysis. These assumptions include using a default CPU
scale factor and normalization based on CPU speed. You can introduce
a different scale 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.
On the Edit Scenario screen, you can select either
the System or Workload tab to manipulate the scenario and specifies which metric to view: average, 90th percentile, peak or max 15-min (maximum 15-minute
sustained). Units to view can be absolute or in percentages. By changing
the metrics to view, you can explore multiple options for system and
workload deployment.
