New Resource Pool Task Grayed-Out

[MB345]

Greetings,

When I r. click either the cluster or a host, my (create a) "New Resource Pool" task in the context menu is grayed-out.

(I am logged on with administrator priveleges...)

Ideas?

Thanks!

Is DRS enabled?

Rubeck is right, you are unable to create a resource pool if DRS is disabled. One way to test out further is login to the ESX standalone, the resource pool would not be greyed out.

Thanks, Kim and idle-jam.

Yes, DRS was off.  And considering that resource pools is how DRS works... but I missed it.

Thanks again.

Glad to hear that it is working. If you need to test DRS you could use the famous cpbusy vbs script.

Dim goal

Dim before

Dim x

Dim y

Dim i

goal = 2181818

Do While True

     before = Timer

     For i = 0 to goal

          x = 0.000001

          y = sin(x)

          y = y + 0.00001

     Next

     y = y + 0.01

Loop

Thanks again, idle-jam.
