Resource pool vmware что это
You can create a child resource pool of any ESXi host, resource pool, or DRS cluster.
Prerequisites
The vSphere Client is connected to the vCenter Server system.
Procedure
The CPU resources for your resource pool are the guaranteed physical resources the host reserves for a resource pool. Normally, you accept the default and let the host handle resource allocation.
A nonzero reservation is subtracted from the unreserved resources of the parent (host or resource pool). The resources are considered reserved, regardless of whether virtual machines are associated with the resource pool.
If you power on a virtual machine in this resource pool, and the combined reservations of the virtual machines are larger than the reservation of the resource pool, the resource pool can use resources from its parent or ancestors.
To specify a limit, deselect the Unlimited check box.
Results
Example: Creating Resource Pools
Assume that you have a host that provides 6GHz of CPU and 3GB of memory that must be shared between your marketing and QA departments. You also want to share the resources unevenly, giving one department (QA) a higher priority. This can be accomplished by creating a resource pool for each department and using the Shares attribute to prioritize the allocation of resources.
The example shows how to create a resource pool with the ESXi host as the parent resource.
Leave Shares at Normal for CPU and memory.
If there is resource contention, RP-QA receives 4GHz and 2GB of memory, and RP-Marketing 2GHz and 1GB. Otherwise, they can receive more than this allotment. Those resources are then available to the virtual machines in the respective resource pools.

In this article, we are going to cover topic for better utilization of resources and maximizing the performance by using Resource Pool
Configure and Manage Resource Pools:-
Resource pool is a logical abstractions of CPU and Memory resources. We use Resource Pool to Share, Limit, and Reservation of resources for VMs. We need it when CPU and Memory resources become constrained on the cluster, or we need to dedicate amount of resources for list of virtual machines. Although it can also be allocated per VM, but management of resource per Virtual machine will increase administration efforts.
You must have DRS enabled on Cluster before creating Resource Pool. To get DRS features, you should have Enterprise or Enterprise Plus License. So anyway, we can enable Resource Pool when we have at least vSphere Enterprise version of license available.
Resource Pool provides better allocation of CPU and Memory resources by using below parameters as per requirement. Resource Pool has Parents, Children, and Siblings in Resource Pool Hierarchy.
Before configuring it, you have to priorities your virtual machines and have to aware the goals of it. Accordingly configure it, that would give you better optimization.
Let’s have a quick insight about these allocation types.
Shares:-
As name says, it share the resources among Virtual machines. It distribute resource as per the set priorities. There are three type of priorities in Shares Value as mentioned below, which works in 4:2:1 ratio, though it can be customized.
Share value comes in to the picture only if there is resource contention on Cluster. If Virtual machine configured with Share Value as High, it will take the priority over others.
Let’s take a scenario to know insight how this Share ratio works.
Reservation:-
Reservation defines the guarantee allocation of resource to Virtual Machine even if there is contention on Cluster. Virtual Center only allow to power on VM only if there are enough resources available according to meet the requirement of Virtual Machine reservation.
Take a scenario here to better understand reservation on VM.
Limit:-
Limit specify the capping and upper bound of Virtual Machine resource usage. It’s same as you configure I/O control on Network and Storage, you have Limit feature which configure the upper bound of resource usage. However, you can allocate more resources to Virtual Machines then it’s configured as Limit, but that will be useless for VMs. Hypervisor can never allocate resources more than the limit, even if there are unused resources on the system.
Take a scenario to understand Limit.
Well, we discussed an overview of Resource Pool. Now let’s take insight how to configure it.
Step by Step Procedure for Configuring Resource Pool:-
Please note that you can also schedule the task to change the resource setting of Virtual Machine or Resource Pool as per requirement.
So, that’s all from Resource Pool, we will move to next topic in next article.
A resource pool is a logical abstraction for flexible management of resources. Resource pools can be grouped into hierarchies and used to hierarchically partition available CPU and memory resources.
Each standalone host and each DRS cluster has an (invisible) root resource pool that groups the resources of that host or cluster. The root resource pool does not appear because the resources of the host (or cluster) and the root resource pool are always the same.
Users can create child resource pools of the root resource pool or of any user-created child resource pool. Each child resource pool owns some of the parent’s resources and can, in turn, have a hierarchy of child resource pools to represent successively smaller units of computational capability.
A resource pool can contain child resource pools, virtual machines, or both. You can create a hierarchy of shared resources. The resource pools at a higher level are called parent resource pools. Resource pools and virtual machines that are at the same level are called siblings. The cluster itself represents the root resource pool. If you do not create child resource pools, only the root resource pools exist.
In the following example, RP-QA is the parent resource pool for RP-QA-UI. RP-Marketing and RP-QA are siblings. The three virtual machines immediately below RP-Marketing are also siblings.
Figure 1. Parents, Children, and Siblings in Resource Pool Hierarchy
For each resource pool, you specify reservation, limit, shares, and whether the reservation should be expandable. The resource pool resources are then available to child resource pools and virtual machines.

Представим, что один гипервизор обслуживает несколько виртуальных машин, у каждой машины свои задачи, у каждой машины свое потребление ресурсов, например несколько машин для разработчиков, несколько web сервров и т.п., отдать им всем все ресурсы сервера на мой взгляд не совсем правильно, в данном случае эффективнее было бы разделить машины по назначению, для каждого «назначения» создать свой пул ресурсов, «раскидать» машины по пулам. Так же можно ограничения на выделение ресурсов выставить в свойствах самих машин. Я например разбиваю машины по уровням, так называемым level’ам, которые определил для себя сам, например L1, L2, L3, где выставляю соответствующие приоритеты / ограничения, или по назначению и их приоритизации.

Ограничение ресурсов через свойства машины
Для этого достаточно открыть сойства машины, перейти на вкладку Resources и выставить нужные параметры
Ограничение ресурсов через пулы
Для этого необходимо создать новый ресурсный пул, в котором можно выставить настройки резервации ресурсов, где можно выставить параметры в ручную
Или просто выставить приоритет, в результате чего гипервизор будет «знать» какой машине в первую очередь выделять ресурсы
