The cluster has the following characteristics:

A cluster with total resources of 12GHz.

Three resource pools, each of type Fixed (Expandable Reservation is not selected).

The total reservation of the three resource pools combined is 11GHz (4+4+3 GHz). The total is shown in

the Reserved Capacity field for the cluster.

RP1 was created with a reservation of 4GHz. Two virtual machines. (VM1 and VM7) of 2GHz each are

powered on (Reservation Used: 4GHz). No resources are left for powering on additional virtual machines.

VM6 is shown as not powered on. It consumes none of the reservation.

RP2 was created with a reservation of 4GHz. Two virtual machines of 1GHz and 2GHz are powered on

(Reservation Used: 3GHz). 1GHz remains unreserved.

RP3 was created with a reservation of 3GHz. One virtual machine with 3GHz is powered on. No resources

for powering on additional virtual machines are available.

Figure 6-2

shows an example of a valid cluster with some resource pools (RP1 and RP3) using reservation type

Expandable.
