Addmission control at vmware vsphere ha 5.1

Hello All,

In terms of percentage based addmission control at vmware vsphere ha 5.1, what should be set for percentage of cluster resources reserved as failover spare capacity (cpu and memory) ?  %10, %20 etc and how you calculate it ?

Thanks,

It depends on no. of hosts in cluster and the amount of resorces each host has. As a thumb rule, the percentage should be equal to the resources of a single largest host in the cluster. I can give you an example but I figured the below article explains in a much better manner Smiley Happy
