    We have an ongoing virtualization project and I have started using the Server Consolidation wizard in MAP 6.5

    First of all(after inventory and performance collection) I tried the 'Sample host' configuration in the Server consolidation wizard to generate the summary report.

    If I create a new hardware configuration with same parameters as the 'Sample host', run the consolidation wizard again, the summary report is showing completely different numbers, especially for CPU.

    Is this a bug or am I missing something here?

    Best regards

    GH

    I'm not able to reproduce this. I used the sample database that is available in the MAP training kit. I created a Server Virtualization Recommendation report using the sample host hardware configuration. Then I created a new configuration in the hardware library with the exact same specs as the sample and re-ran the Server Consolidation Wizard with the new duplicated hardware profile. I'm getting exactly the same results. Do you have a screen shot or samples to show what you are seeing?

    Been investigating a bit more.

    It also happens when I use the same hardware profile but tick the "edit hardware" before I proceed. Then the cpu frequency becomes 3,600 instead of 3.6.

    It looks like the thing here is formatting of numbers. I am using a Norwegian(Bokmal) date and time format.

    If I switch to English(United states) everything is much better. I consider it a bug but will use the English date and time format for now to generate the reports.

    I would like to investigate this further in our test lab. What is the UI Culture and Culture as reported in the MAP log? (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit\bin\log)

    For example, mine looks like this:

    You are right, it is a bug. I was able to reproduce it on a machine running a German installation of Windows. I have filed a bug on this issue, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
