Create Resource Pools

You create resource pools to compartmentalize all resources in a cluster.

After you order an SDDC using the VMware Cloud on Dell console, two resource pools are available:

• Management Resource Pool: Contains vCenter Server and NSX, which VMware manages.
• Compute Resource Pool: You create child resource pools and manage them.
  When deploying both management and user resources in the same SDDC, create the following child resource pools within the compute resource pool to manage your Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops deployments:

  • Management resource pool: Manages Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops deployments.
  • User resource pool: Citrix users to manage the desktop pools and published applications.

Procedure

1. Use the vSphere Web Client to log in to a vCenter Server instance.
2. Expand SDDC Datacenter, right-click Compute-ResourcePool, and select New Resource Pool.
3. Create management and desktop resource pools.
   For example, create the management resource pool, Citrix Management Resource Pool and desktop resource pool, Citrix Desktop Resource Pool.
4. Enter other required information and click OK.

Results

The resource pools you created are listed under SDDC Datacenter > Compute-ResourcePool.
