What Triggers Share Values to Take Effect?

Resource pools take affect only during contention.  But what is "contention" - does that mean resource pools take affect when cPU utilization on the host is 100%? 90%?  When CPU ready time reaches a certain amount?  What metric is used to tell resource pools to kick in?

Is there a table somewhere that tells you exactly what triggers resource pools to take affect?  For example:

  • When CPU ready time reaches x, resource pools and share values will be enforced
  • When CPU % utilization on the host reaches x

  • When memory % utilization on the host reaches x
