Hi, We've got a setup of 6 ESX servers (2x 2,5GHz, 8GB ram each) in a DRS/HA cluster. In this cluster I've created 3 resource pools: low, medium and high. Low group = CPU Shares:Low, RAM Shares:Low, Both:No Limit and expandable. Medium group = CPU Shares:Medium, RAM Shares:Medium, Both:No Limit and expandable. High group = CPU Shares:6000, RAM Shares:High, Both:No Limit and expandable. Now... There are approximately 11 vm's in each group. And then there's 1 which I've not put into any group yet - simply because I get the error below. The vm belongs in the high priority group, but when I try to add it, I get an error saying: "The memory resource shares for VM-NAME are much higher than the virtual machine's in the resource pool. With its current share settings, this virtual machine will be entitled to 62% of the CPU resources in the pool. Are you sure you want to do this?" Then I can select yes or no. But the error confuses me... Is this a CPU or memory thing? - cause it mentions both! Anyone seen this error before, or knows what to do? Maybe recommendations to a re-design of the resoruce pools? Thanks in advance, Rasmus
