Hosts at Risk

Use the Reports tab to examine the catalog of templates, dashboards and reports - organized by products along with user-created, and system folders. This report is located here:

Capacity Manager > Capacity At Risk > Hosts At Risk

When you generate this report, select a capacity threshold: Low, Warning, or Critical. Typically, for at risk reports, you will want to view the Critical hosts--that is, those that are at risk of breaching the critical threshold.

In the report's scope selector, the Host Type option can be used to include virtual hosts in this host-based report: VM Server, VM Guest, VIO Server, VIO Guest, Oracle Container, Oracle Zone, Hyper-V Server, Hyper-V Guest, or Other.

This report lists only the hosts that require your immediate attention. Use the host link to view details.

Note:

When reviewing the values in this report, note that hosts at risk are determined by evaluating current and projected usage.
