This section explains the VMware overcommit function for L-Servers.
Overcommit
The RHEL-KVM overcommit function for the CPU and memory is available on Resource Orchestrator.
The RHEL-KVM overcommit function for the CPU and memory virtually allows a guest OS to use more resources than that of the actual CPU and memory of a server.
An L-Server for VM pools with overcommit attributes includes overcommit attributes.
Installation Procedure
Create a VM pool for overcommit.
For details on how to create a VM pool, refer to "12.2 Resource Pool Operations" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Create an overcommit configuration file for a VM pool.
Create an overcommit configuration file for the VM pool created in step 1.
For details on definition files, refer to "E.1 Common Functions of Server Virtualization Software".
Note
Due to limitations of the KVM management application, it may take a few minutes until the amount of memory used by VM is reflected on the ROR console.
