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 "Chapter 20 Resource Pool Operations" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Create a VM Specific Information Definition File
Create a VM specific information definition file. Create a VM specific information definition file when configuring different settings for individual user groups without configuring overcommit settings on the L-Server template.
For VM specific information definition files, refer to "C.1 Definition Files Commonly Shared when Creating Virtual L-Servers".
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.
