Create Resource Pools

You can use resource pools to hierarchically partition available CPU and memory resources of a standalone

host or a cluster. Use resource pools to aggregate resources and set allocation policies for multiple virtual

machines, without the need to set resources on each virtual machine.

Prerequisites

Verify that the vSphere Client is connected to a vCenter Server system. If the client is connected directly

to a host, you cannot create a resource pool.

Make sure you have permissions sufficient to create a resource pool object.

Verify that a cluster, vApp, or other resource pool object is parent to the resource pool.

Procedure

1 Select Home > Inventory > Hosts and Clusters.

2 Select a cluster, vApp, or resource pool.

3 Select File > New > Resource Pool.

4 Enter a name and specify resource settings.

5 Click OK.

The resource pool is added to the inventory.

What to do next

Add virtual machines and vApps to your resource pool.

You can use resource pools to hierarchically partition available CPU and memory resources of a standalone

host or a cluster. You can use resource pools to aggregate resources and set allocation policies for multiple

virtual machines, without setting resources on each virtual machine.

You can create a child resource pool of a standalone host, resource pool, vApp, or DRS cluster. You cannot

create resource pools in a cluster that is not enabled for DRS.

Prerequisites

Required privilege: Resource.Create resource pool on the parent object for the resource pool.
