Create Resource Pools for the Components in Availability Zone 2 in the Cluster for an NSX-T Workload Domain

You create a resource pools for NSX-T Edge node pair and for tenant workloads in the cluster of the NSX-T workload domain in VMware Cloud Foundation.

Allocate more CPU and memory resources to the resource pool for the NSX-T Edge appliances. The edge nodes provide dynamic routing to the tenant workloads in the workload domain. During contention, the edge nodes must receive enough resources so that network traffic is not interrupted.

Procedure

1. In a Web browser, log in to vCenter Server by using the vSphere Client.

   Setting	Value
   URL	https://sfo01m01vc01.sfo01.rainpole.local/ui
   User name	[e-mail]
   Password	vsphere_admin_password

2. In the Hosts and clusters inventory, expand the sfo01w01vc01.sfo01.rainpole.local tree and expand the sfo01-w01dc data center.
3. Right-click the sfo01-w01-shared01 cluster and select New Resource Pool.
4. In the New Resource Pool dialog box, configure the settings for the sfo01-w01rp-sddc-edge pool and click OK.
5. Repeat the step to create the sfo01-w01rp-user-vm resource pool.
