+
+
+In addition to enabling general
+[Capacity and Utilization Collection](../../general_configuration/index.html#capacity-and-utilization-collection),
+complete the following procedure to enable Capacity and Utilization data for an
+IBM PowerVC cloud provider in {{ site.data.product.title_short }}.
+
+Virtual Machines for which you want to monitor capacity and utilization data
+need to be created with a Compute Template with performance information
+collection enabled.
+
+1.  In the IBM PowerVC web interface, navigate to **Virtual Machines >
+Compute Templates** in the side menu.
+
+2.  In the Compute Templates Menu, select the **Create  +** button.
+
+3.  During creation of the Compute Template, select the **Miscellaneous**
+tab.
+
+4.  Then select the checkbox with the description
+**Enable performance information collection**.
+
+5.  Continue with template creation. When ready, select **Create** to create
+your template.
+
+Any Virtual Machines created using that template will be able to transmit
+Capacity and Utilization data to {{ site.data.product.title_short }}.
