Simulation management

First, make sure that you are an admin and that you are working on the good scope :

What is a simulation ?

The simulations in OpTISAM are used to simulate a change in the inventory park or in the licensing of the products.

Access

You can access to "Simulation management" by clicking here :

Presentation

The presentation table is :

You can see :
- Configuration ID : The ID of the simulation's configuration
- Configuration Name : The name of the simulation's configuration
- Equipment Type : The equipment type on which the simulation will be done
- Attributes : The main attribute that will be modified for the simulation
- Created On : Date of the creation of the simulation's configuration

Possibilities

You can do 3 things from here :
- Create a new configuration (here) : to create a hardware simulation (on an equipment)
- Edit an exisiting configuration (here)
- Delete an exisiting configuration (here)

Create a new configuration

Click on "Create Configuration" :

This screen will be shown :

You have 3 fields to fill in :
- Group : Must stay "ROOT"
- Configuration Name : Choose the name that you want to give to your configuration
- Equipment Type : Select the equipment type on which you want to create a simulation's configuration

Once, you've filled in the fields, a new window will be shown :

In this window, you will be able to select the attribute on which you want to do a simulation and join a CSV file corresponding to this attribute.

Let's take an example with the "server_cpu", you will have to create a CSV file with new values corresponding to all the new values of "core_cpu" as below :

As you can see, we have 4 different values of the "server_cpu" with different attributes associated to these values.
So, in the simulation, if you select Intel(R) Xeon-1, it will simulate with :
- pvu = 50
- server_coresNumber = 4
- sag = 0.625
- server_processorsNumber = 2
- corefactor_oracle = 1

You can find a file filled in here

Once, the file is created, you have to click on the paper click next to the attribute you want to edit :

Then select the CSV file you've just created :

You can click on the small trash on the right if you've made a mistake in order to delete the file :

Once you've uploaded the right file for the right attribute, just scroll and click on "Apply" in order to create the new simulation's configuration.

Edit an exisiting configuration

Click on the small pencil in the line of the simulation's configuration you want to edit :

This screen will be shown :

From here, you can :
1. Add a new file to modify an attribute in the simulation as explained in Create a new configuration
2. Delete a file already added to the simulation's configuration by clicking on the trash

Once, it's done, you have to click on "Update" to edit the simulation's configuration.

Delete an exisiting configuration

Click on the small trash in the line of the simulation's configuration you want to delete :

This screen will be shown :

Click on OK in order to delete the simulation's configuration.
