Resources (parameters):
- CPU Limit (text box editor type) (type: int32): limit the utilization of the resource pool,and it will not exceed it even if there are available resources. This is typically used to ensure a consistent performance of resource pools independent of available resources. If set to -1, then there is no fixed limit on resource usage (only bounded by available resources and shares). Units are MHz. E.g. 40 and this number should be higher than CPU reservation parameter.
- CPU Reservation (text box editor type) (type: int32): amount of resource that is guaranteed available to the resource pool. Reserved resources are not wasted if they are not used. If the utilization is less than the reservation, the resources can be utilized by other running virtual machines. Units are MHz. E.g. 20 and this number should be lower than CPU Limit parameter.
- CPU Shares (text box editor type) (type: int32): the number of shares allocated. Used to determine resource allocation in case of resource contention. This value is only set if level is set to custom. If level is not set to custom, this value is ignored. Therefore, only shares with custom values can be compared.
- CPU Shares Level (combo box control) (type: string): set the allocation level, it is a simplified view of shares. Levels map to a pre-determined set of numeric values for shares. If the shares value does not map to a predefined size, then the level is set as custom.If custom -> Shares value is specified in the 'shares' parameter, if high -> Shares = 2000 * number of virtual CPUs, if low -> Shares = 500 * number of virtual CPUs, or if normal -> Shares = 1000 * number of virtual CPUs
- Expandable CPU Reservation (combo box control) (type: string): in a resource pool with an expandable reservation, the reservation on a resource pool can grow beyond the specified value, if the parent resource pool has unreserved resources. A non-expandable reservation is called a fixed reservation.
- Expandable Memory Reservation (combo box control) (type: string): in a resource pool with an expandable reservation, the reservation on a resource pool can grow beyond the specified value, if the parent resource pool has unreserved resources. A non-expandable reservation is called a fixed reservation.
- Memory Limit (text box editor type) (type: int32): limit the utilization of the resource pool,and it will not exceed it even if there are available resources. This is typically used to ensure a consistent performance of resource pools independent of available resources. If set to -1, then there is no fixed limit on resource usage (only bounded by available resources and shares). Units are MB. E.g. 40 and this number should be higher than Memory reservation parameter.
- Memory Reservation (text box editor type) (type: int32): amount of resource that is guaranteed available to the resource pool. Reserved resources are not wasted if they are not used. If the utilization is less than the reservation, the resources can be utilized by other running virtual machines. Units are MB. E.g. 20 and this number should be lower than Memory Limit parameter.
- Memory Shares (text box editor type) (type: int32): the number of shares allocated. Used to determine resource allocation in case of resource contention. This value is only set if level is set to custom. If level is not set to custom, this value is ignored. Therefore, only shares with custom values can be compared.
- Memory Shares Level (combo box control) (type: string): this is the allocation level, it is a simplified view of shares. Levels map to a pre-determined set of numeric values for shares. If the shares value does not map to a predefined size, then the level is set as custom.
