To Request a Resource Utilization Report for a Resource Pool

Use this procedure if you want to obtain a daily, weekly, or monthly report for a resource pool.

Steps

1. Set the browser's cache to refresh every time.

2. In the Hosts view, select the host to which the resource pool is bound.

   A list of all resource pools bound to this host appears in the Resource Pools table in the right pane.

3. Select the name of the resource pool in the table.

   A table listing all containers that are bound to this resource pool appears.

4. Select the Utilization tab.

   The CPU usage and memory usage of the resource pool for the last 24 hours are displayed.

   ---

   Note –

   (On Solaris 10) The CPU usage and memory usage are displayed.

5. Click the Graph Properties link.

6. Choose whether to generate a report for the entire resource pool or for a resource object in the resource pool.

   ---

   Note –

   The resource object for a resource pool is a project.

   (On Solaris 10) The resource object for a resource pool will be zones and projects.

   • To generate a report for the entire resource pool, select the Total Utilization option.

     Select the appropriate time interval from the Time Interval list.

     Click the Update Graph button.

     The CPU and memory resource utilization graphs appear. Also, utilization report and bandwidth reports are generated.

   • To generate a report for a resource object in the resource pool, select the Cumulative Utilization by Object option.

     Select the appropriate resource object.

     Select the appropriate time interval from the Time Interval list.

     Click the Update Graph button.

     The CPU and memory resource utilization graphs appear for a maximum of 5 resource objects that have high utilization. Also, utilization report and bandwidth reports are generated.

7. (Optional) To export the last 24 hours of data to a CSV file, click the Export Data button.

   You must wait at least 2 hours after installation of the Performance Reporting Manager software for a CSV report to be available. Data must first be collected and stored in the database from which the report can draw from. You cannot preview this data in a graph.

   Data exported contains the hourly data for the container for the last 24 hours. Therefore, it is not identical to the data obtained from a daily graph.
