VMware capacity planner for ESX 4.1 questions
Hello Experts,
As per link below.
http://michael.requeny.com/2011/05/01/poor-mans-vmware-capacity-planner-guided-consolidation/
I would like to raise following questions:
1. What special licensing is required to run this tool?
2. Where should I deploy this tool? vcenter?
3. Is the performance on ESX host and/or vcenter server affected during the tool execution?
4. Will the application install any agents on ESX/Vcenter/VMs?
5. Any specific best practices to run this tool?
6. Will the capacity planning help me to build an strategy storage/performance/capaci ty plan for next 3 years?
7. What level of permissions is required to run this tool?
8. What type of reports can I get once the tool completed the analysis?
9. Any chance to export those reports to a PDF/Excel format?
Your feedback is really appreciated

For question 6 - capacity analysis I would recommend vKernel instead which is a scalable solution
