To use BlueXP economic efficiency, perform a few steps to set it up.

  • Review prerequisites to ensure that your environment is ready.

  • Create a Connector in BlueXP.

  • Discover the cluster in BlueXP.

You can create a Connector directly in BlueXP and use that Connector later in BlueXP economic efficiency. Or, you can create the Connector in the middle of the capacity remediation process.

Similarly, you can discover the cluster ahead of time using BlueXP or during the capacity remediation process.
