Resource Pool Hierarchies
Resource pool hierarchies allow detailed control over which
virtual machines are allowed how many resources, by dividing resources between children at
each level of the hierarchy. Child resource pools can be configured with reservations and
limits, similar to virtual machines. Child resource pools can also be configured with shares
settings, which take effect in resource contention situations.
For more information about how reservations and
limits apply to resource pool hierarchies, see Configuring Reservation and
Limit for Resource Pools. For more information about how shares apply to resource
pool hierarchies, see Configuring Priority Shares
for Resource Pools.
