3 windows 10 VMs :

  • 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 
For Better View > Open Image in different TAB

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 
For Better View > Open Image in different TAB
For Better View > Open Image in different TAB

create resource pool

after we enable DRS : we can create resource pool 

  • right click on cluster > new resource pool 
For Better View > Open Image in different TAB
create resource pool RP-PCs with share normal
create resource pool RP-Linux with share high
new have 2 resource pool > but VMs still out of resource pool

after we created resource pool : its time to move each VM to it’s resource pool

right click on VM > migrate 

right click on VM > migrate 
migrate compute resource only
from resource pool TAB > select resource pool
