New workload : Prism Central
- Prism Central as a new sizing option in the workload dropdown.
- Size for Single VM / Scale-out deployment options
- Considers resource requirements for add-ons : Self Service/Flow/Prism Operations
- Please note that this is an added option where users can manually add PC to the cluster. In addition, selecting Prism Central from solutions option continue to exist.
Split large workloads into multiple clusters:
- Earlier, extremely large workloads gave a no optimal solution message when the workloads do not fit in a single cluster.
- With split workload functionality, Sizer automatically creates multiple clusters and splits workloads across the clusters optimally.
- Currently supported for Cluster(raw) sizing only
- This should be especially helpful in two scenarios: large imports from Collector and sizing on NC2 on AWS/Azure with smaller max node limit.
Insights imports: Auto create existing cluster
- When importing from Insights, there is an option to auto-recreate existing cluster.
- This will create the cluster with the existing HW configuration (today it defaults to latest gen models and users must manually configure existing HW)
- Only additional nodes need to be manually configured if considering for expansion.
Proposals:
- Latest HW spec on NX G9 and HPE DX G11
Usability enhancements:
- View workload:
- Currently it captures only essential workload inputs.
- Now there is a ‘View All details’ that opens the workload page in view mode to view all inputs.
- No need to clone just to see workload inputs.
Platforms: Dell 16G (Intel SPR) platforms
