Issue/Introduction

What is the best way to prepare a summary of a system best suited for Sizing Tool calculations ?

Environment

All supported releases of DX NetOps Performance Management

Cause

Need to evaluate sizing of my environment.

Resolution

The best way is to use the dr-healthcheck.sh script that came as part of the install media after it is extracted from the installDR.bin into the IMDataRepository_vertica<version> directory.  This is normally on node1.

1. On the Data Repository, go to (change for your path if different)

cd /opt/CA/IMDataRepository_vertica10/dr-health

 

2. Execute dr-healthcheck.sh.  The command variables you will need to use are:

# ./dr-healthcheck.sh
USAGE ./dr-healthcheck.sh <customer> <dauser> <dapass> <dradminuser> <dradminpass>

3. It will produce an archive that contains files and one of them will be  a .csv file you can import to Sizing Tool:

# tar -tf /tmp/drhealth-customer.tar
tmp/dr.out
tmp/dr-group.out
tmp/item.out
tmp/pollitem.out
tmp/CAPM_sizer_input.csv

4. Move the CAPM_sizer_input.csv file to your laptop and navigate to the sizing wizard:

5. In the top right is a button called "Restore from CSV".  Click this and select the CAPM_sizer_input.csv file that you moved to your laptop.
