For the Model Host Network Adapter and Memory, enter the configuration of your planned Hyper-V server network adapter configuration for speed of the adapters and number of adapters. Also enter the amount of RAM that will be in the server, such as 8GB or 16GB or 32GB. Then click Next. 6.

If you leave Set Virtual Machines per Host unchecked the Recommendation Wizard tells you how many of the physical servers you assessed will fit on this model configuration you have created. If you check the check box you can note whether you want two three four or more virtual sessions on the system. Typically you d just let the wizard recommend how many sessions you want on the server so you would leave the check box blank. Click Next to continue. 7.

From the Microsoft Assessment and Planning Solution Accelerator screen choose the View Saved Reports and Proposals option. Doing so opens an Explorer window that shows the Excel spreadsheets and Word documents generated by the assessment tool. Open the ServerVirtProposal Word document that summarizes the recommendation on how many Hyper-V virtual servers would be needed the expected CPU utilization of the servers and the disk and network throughput of the servers. Combine the information from the Excel spreadsheet named ServerVirtRecommendation that notes a recommended split of servers between the Hyper-V host systems being acquired and you get a .
