Resource Pools view

This view is a tree view. It lists the resource pools that exist in your environment and shows their state.

Selecting the All Resource Pools node displays overall resource utilization for all resource pools in your integrated system, and the elements that consume the highest amount of system resources in the Summary - All Resource Pools view on the right. Similarly, selecting a resource pool node shows resource pool-specific metrics in the Resource Pool Summary view on the right.

On the VMware Environment dashboard, on the Monitoring tab, in the Quick-View, select the Resource Pools tile.
The Resource Pools view appears in the Quick-View on the left.
Alarm severity. The state of the most recent alarm raised against the associated resource pool.
All Resource Pools. A parent node for the resource pool object instances that appear in this view.
Resource Pool. The resource pool name.
