DESCRIPTION

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

parameter.





PARAMETERS

-CpuExpandableReservation <Boolean>

Indicates that the CPU reservation can grow beyond the specified value if the parent resource pool has

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

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-CpuReservationMhz <Int64>

Specifies the CPU size in MHz that is guaranteed to be available.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-CpuSharesLevel <SharesLevel>

Specifies the CPU allocation level for this pool. This property is used in relative allocation between

resource consumers. The valid values are Custom, High, Low, and Normal.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value Normal

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Location <VIContainer>

Specifies a container object (ResourcePool, Cluster, or VMHost) where you want to place the new resource pool.

If a host or a cluster is specified for the Location parameter, the resource pool is created in the

"Resources" resource pool. The "Resources" resource pool is a system resource pool and is guaranteed to exist.



Required? true

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters? true



-MemExpandableReservation <Boolean>

If the value is $true, the memory reservation can grow beyond the specified value if the parent resource pool

has unreserved resources.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-MemLimitGB <Decimal>

Specifies a memory usage limit in gigabytes (GB). If this parameter is set, utilization will not exceed the

specified limit even if there are available resources.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-MemLimitMB <Int64>

This parameter is obsolete. Use MemLimitGB instead. Specifies a memory usage limit in megabytes (MB). If this

parameter is set, utilization will not exceed the specified limit even if there are available resources.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-MemReservationGB <Decimal>

Specifies the guaranteed available memory in gigabytes (GB).



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-MemReservationMB <Int64>

This parameter is obsolete. Use MemReservationGB instead. Specifies the guaranteed available memory in

megabytes (MB).



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-MemSharesLevel <SharesLevel>

Specifies the memory allocation level for this pool. This property is used in relative allocation between

resource consumers. The valid values are Custom, High, Low, and Normal.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value Normal

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Name <String>

Specifies a name for the new resource pool.



Required? true

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-NumCpuShares <Int32>

Specifies the CPU allocation level for this pool. This property is used in relative allocation between

resource consumers. This parameter is ignored unless the CpuSharesLevel parameter is set to Custom.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-NumMemShares <Int32>

Specifies the memory allocation level for this pool. This property is used in relative allocation between

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).



INPUTS



OUTPUTS

The newly created ResourcePool object
