Written by Christopher Lewis on March 15, 2017 .

Objective Overview

Objective 8.2 - Configure vRealize Business Standard Costing and Reporting

Knowledge:

Configure cost drivers according to a deployment plan:
- Assign cost for operating system licensing
- Edit cost for server hardware, storage, and network
- Create a monthly cost for facilities and maintenance
Configure CPU and memory utilization costs
Configure Consumption Analysis:
- Edit consumer hierarchy
- Edit price value according to a deployment plan
- Edit/Import budget to estimate your cost
Generate vRealize Business vCenter Server report
Generate a vRealize Automation Report
Select and export the appropriate report
Filter and Search for specific reports based on customer requirements

IMPORTANT NOTE: The steps in this guide utilise vRealize Business for Cloud. This is because vRB Standard does not support vRA 6.2.5, and this is required because I am running VMware vSphere 6.5. The steps will be similar but not identical in vRealize Business Standard.
