Creating a Host Consolidation Planner Scenario

You can create custom host consolidation scenarios instead of or in addition to using the pre-configured scenarios. Multiple scenarios can be created within a project, enabling you to compare different scenarios before deciding on a solution. New consolidation scenarios are created within an existing consolidation project. You can create host consolidation scenarios for planning purposes only.

Creating a scenario involves the following steps:

• Setting Up the Scenario

• Defining Constraints for Host Consolidation

• Planning the Destination for a Physical Server to Virtual Server Project

• Planning the Destination for a Physical Server to Physical Server Project

• Mapping Host Sources to Destinations

• Reviewing and Saving the Host Consolidation Scenario
