Initial and on-going performance measurement


Performance measurements begin prior to system deployment. In terms of a failover cluster of Hyper-V systems, it begins prior to creating any virtual machines. Your first goal is to obtain baselines. The term baseline has different meanings in different contexts; in this case it means gathering data on a system during a known healthy period. Its purpose is to serve as a point of comparison for later data gathering operations.

The first set of performance measurements you take will be with no virtual machines. Once you have reached your target deployment level, you will obtain another. These will be your baselines. All future performance measurements will be compared to these in order to determine how your systems are working.
