Thank you for your reply. I pretty much am aware of the basic principles of how resource pools operate. I understand that share values in resource pools take affect when demand exceeds available resources.
However, all of the explanations I can find are general in nature, and not specific.
That is what I am trying to clarify.
Example:
1. A General explanation of when resource pool share values take effect.
"When demand exceeds available resources"
[this is general - no metric specified for what data counters are used to calculate "demand", no data counters specified to define how "available resources" are calculated.]
2. A specific explanation of when resource pool share values take affect:
"Resource pool share values used in conjunction with CPU take affect when the demand, measured in percent utilization, and measured according to the data counter with the exact title of
- "cpu.usage.average"
- reaches 95%
of the host CPU capacity measured according to the data counter cpu.capacity.total , [ok so I made that counter name up] after subtracting the overhead required by the hypervisor."
I know this isn't how the algorithm works but I am creating an example to try to explain the difference between a general statement of what triggers share values to take affect and a specific definition of the condition that triggers them, defined by specific data counters reaching specific numerical values.
Hopefully that explains the question more clearly
