powernap_calculator(1)
NAME
powernap_calculator - estimate the expected power savings using powernap in a cloud environment
SYNOPSIS
powernap_calculator [-h|--hosts NUM] [-p|--guests-per-host NUM] [-g|--guests NUM]
OPTIONS
- -h, --hosts NUM
- Number of physical host systems in your cloud.
- -p, --guests-per-host NUM
- Number of virtual machine guests allowed to run on each physical host system (often, this is equal to the number of CPUs in the host system)
- -g, --guests NUM
- Number of guest virtual machines running in the cloud at a given instant.
DESCRIPTION
This utility will use statistical analysis to determine an expected value of power savings within a cloud environment using powernap. For more information about the statistical term 'expected value', please refer to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_value.

EXAMPLE
- If your cloud consists of 8 hosts, each of which can run 4 guests, and
you're currently running 16 guests, you can see your power savings
expected value with:
- powernap_calculator -h 8 -p 4 -g 16
