Other Host Consolidation Scenario Creation Options

You can create a host consolidation scenario based on an existing scenario. Select an applicable scenario under a consolidation project and then select Create Like Scenario from the Actions menu. Modify the scenario as desired, provide a meaningful name, and submit for analysis as usual.

If you saved a scenario as a template, you can subsequently import the scenario into another environment.

1. On the Host Consolidation Planner home page, select Create Scenario from Template from the Actions menu.
2. Browse to a saved template XML file in the local file system. Click Open.
3. Indicate the extent to which you want to replicate the saved template; that is, in terms of the resources, constraints, and destinations planning represented by the template. Click Update if you make any changes.
4. Click OK to import the saved template.

   The imported scenario opens in the wizard where you can edit and save it in Host Consolidation Planner.
