Symptoms

The VMware Capacity Planner Assessment Report shows 0TB for the Total Storage Required heading

The VMware Capacity Planner Assessment Report is incorrect

The Dashboard displays incorrect values

Resolution

For the storage value to be shown correctly, the Company ID has to have things like base images, software profiles, and virtual machine templates configured on the Capacity Planner Dashboard.

The Software Profiles can be created using one of the public Software Templates. This can be done through the Capacity Planner Dashboard by navigating to Analyze > Software Analysis > Select Profiles.

You need to create two types of software profiles: one that matches an operating system and another that has matching applications based on the company's inventory data. These are of operating system and application types, respectively.

When the Software Profiles are created, a Base Image that includes the above software profiles needs to be created. Creation of Base Images is done through the Capacity Planner Dashboard by navigating to Analyze > Base Images.

Select an operating system profile and also include application software profiles when creating the Base Image. Alternatively, you can also auto-create base images.

Note: Using the auto-create base images feature deletes existing base images.

When the Software Profiles and Base Images are created, the Base Image needs to be included in the Optimization Scenarios marked with asterisk on the List Scenarios page. Based on the Base Images included in the Optimization Scenario and the virtual machine template count setting (default is 3 for scenarios), the storage values for the scenarios is computed and shown in the final reports.

Note: If you already have your Software Profiles and Base Images created, you may need to recreate the Base Images, then re-run the Assessment Report to resolve the issue.
