Resource pools are used to define how CPU and memory resources are shared between virtual machines during times of contention, to guarantee CPU and memory resources to a group of virtual machines, and to limit the amount of resources available to virtual machines.
When you are creating a resource pool, the following resource allocations can be applied:
- Share: This is used during the time of CPU or memory contention to determine how virtual machines will be scheduled against available CPU and memory resources. Access to the resources is relative to the number of shares allocated. Each virtual machine in a resource pool receives a percentage of the shares that are available to the pool.
- Reservation: The CPU and memory resources ...
