ResourcePool_ResourceAllocationInfo
The ResourcePool.ResourceAllocationInfo structure contains resource allocation information of a resource pool.
{
"reservation": 0,
"expandable_reservation": false,
"limit": 0,
"shares": {
"level": "string",
"shares": 0
}
}Amount of resource that is guaranteed available to a 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 fo memory, and MHz for CPU.
In a resource pool with an expandable reservation, the reservation can grow beyond the specified value, if the parent resource pool has unreserved resources. A non-expandable reservation is called a fixed reservation.
The utilization of a resource pool will not exceed this limit, 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 for memory, and MHz for CPU.
The ResourcePool.SharesInfo structure provides specification of shares. Shares are used to determine relative allocation between resource consumers. In general, a consumer with more shares gets proportionally more of the resource, subject to certain other constraints.
