Virtual Infrastructure Compute Resource APIs
Represents a set of physical compute resources for a set of virtual machines.
The base type ComputeResource, when instantiated by calling AddStandaloneHost_Task, represents a single host. The subclass ClusterComputeResource represents a cluster of hosts and adds distributed management features such as availability and resource scheduling.
A ComputeResource always has a root ResourcePool associated with it. Certain types of clusters such as those with VMware DRS enabled and standalone hosts (ESX Server 3) support the creation of ResourcePool hierarchies.
