Computer Device Overloaded

The following validation message can appear when a computer device cannot handle the load demand of the capacity model:

<OfficeName>, <ServerName>. <DeviceType> <DeviceName> is overloaded

Typically, this adjustment message appears when you have added additional load to the capacity model—for example, by adding additional users—that overloads the device in a computer configuration. When this message appears, simulation of the device cannot continue. To make the required adjustments, use one or more of the following procedures:

• To edit a server hardware configuration in the Model Editor to increase capacity by replacing the server hardware configuration in the How to Edit a Server Hardware Configuration or a Server Role in the Model Editor topic
• One or all of the procedures to reduce the load on the device by adding devices of the same type in the How to Modify a Computer or Device Configuration in the Hardware Editor topic
• To edit a client profile in the Model Editor to reduce the load on the device by changing usage parameters in the How to Add, Edit, or Delete a Client Profile in the Model Editor topic
• To move a software component between servers to reduce the load on the device by redirecting load to other servers in the How to Move A Server Role Between Servers topic
