Allows allocating processor resources for a virtual machine.

Input Parameters

 
Name/Scripting name
Type
Description

Shares level/sharesLevel

String

Shares level can be: “low”, “normal”, “high” or “custom”. The level is a simplified view of shares. Levels map to a pre-determined set of numeric values for shares. If the shares value does not map to a predefined size, then the level is set as custom.

Limit value/limit

Long integer

The utilization of a virtual machine/resource pool will not exceed this limit, even if there are available resources. This is typically used to ensure a consistent performance of virtual machines / resource pools independent of available resources. If set to -1, then there is no fixed limit on resource usage (only bounded by available resources and shares). Units are MHz.

Reservation value/reservation

Long integer

Amount of resource that is guaranteed available to the virtual machine or resource pool. Reserved resources are not wasted if they are not used. If the utilization is less than the reservation, the resources can be utilized by other running virtual machines.

Shares value/shares

Integer

The number of shares allocated. Used to determine resource allocation in case of resource contention. This value is only set if level is set to custom. If level is not set to custom, this value is ignored.
