introduction
in previous article we have got an overview of resource pool
this article we will discuss how to configure resource pool in vsphere environment
network diagram
please have a look to above network diagram
we have vsphere environment which include 6 Virtual machines :
3 windows 10 VMs :
- PC101
- PC103
- PC105
3 Suse Linux VMs :
- SLES131
- SLES132
- SLES133
we will create resources pools :
- RP-PCs with normal option and contain windows 10 VMs
- RP-Linux with High option and contain Suse Linux VMs
enable DRS
as we mentioned in previous article :
we have to enable DRS Distributed Resource Scheduler on cluster level
by default DRS is disabled
so we are unable to create resource pool as seen below
to enable DRS :
- open vCenter > cluster > configure > DRS > edit > enable DRS
create resource pool
after we enable DRS : we can create resource pool
- right click on cluster > new resource pool
move VM to resource pool
after we created resource pool : its time to move each VM to it’s resource pool
right click on VM > migrate
