Resource Pool Design Process

Is there a systematic process defined for designing how resource pool share assignments should be created?

For example:

Inventory all your applications and rate them by priority level - 1 through 4

Determine how many resource pools you will have

Determine how much resources each level should get by percentage - i.e.,

level 1 = 10% of cluster resources during contention

level 2 = 20 %

level 3 = 30 %

level 4 =40 %

Then go back and create for example 4 levels and assign share values that guarantee that VMs will get the percentage of cluster resources appropriate for their priority level.

Is there an official VMware process for doing inventory on your VMs, stepping through decisions on how much resources VMs should get in contention and then fleshing that out in the form of resource pools and share values?

Or if there is not an official VMware process for this has anyone in the comunity created a step-through guide or something to use as a template for getting resource pool design process jumpstarted?

Thanks
