LOW : For CPU: Shares = 500 * number of virtual CPUs. For Memory: Shares = 5 * virtual machine memory size in MB.
NORMAL : For CPU: Shares = 1000 * number of virtual CPUs. For Memory: Shares = 10 * virtual machine memory size in MB.
HIGH : For CPU: Shares = 2000 * nmumber of virtual CPUs. For Memory: Shares = 20 * virtual machine memory size in MB.
CUSTOM : If set, in case there is resource contention the server uses the shares value to determine the resource allocation.

When Shares.level is set to CUSTOM, it is the number of shares allocated. Otherwise, this value is ignored. There is no unit for this value. It is a relative measure based on the settings for other resource pools.
