Issue/Introduction

Explanation on how compute percentage is calculated in cost drivers.

Environment

Aria Operations 8.x and above.

Resolution

The compute percentage is only applicable in the case of Server Hardware: Hyperconverged.
We have predefine reference library based on the 'purchase cost' for few of the Models.

Any servers applicable for this cost driver will have Cache and Capacity disks attached to them & we collect the following information "Vendor", "Model" and "Size(GiB)" for these servers. Likewise for Storage Disk we also collect this information (Vendor, Model and Size) tagged it into our Libary. 

We calculate the ratio based on the purchase costs of Server models and Storage Disk models and determine the "Compute %". 

NOTE: Not all servers and storage disk models are available in the reference library, In this case, we try to match with most nearest configuration information available in the reference library and determine the above ratio.
