DESCRIPTION
This cmdlet creates a new resource pool with the provided inputs on the location that is specified by the Location

unreserved resources.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-CpuLimitMhz <Int64>
Specifies a CPU usage limit in MHz. Utilization will not exceed this limit even if there are available
resources.
Required? false

resource consumers. This parameter is ignored unless the MemSharesLevel parameter is set to Custom.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Server <VIServer[]>
Specifies the vCenter Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is passed to this
parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the
description of Connect-VIServer.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? true
-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]
If the value is $true, indicates that the cmdlet asks for confirmation before running. If the value is $false,
the cmdlet runs without asking for user confirmation.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value $true
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that the cmdlet is run only to display the changes that would be made and actually no objects are
modified.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).
