A resource pool is a collection of physical servers, VM hosts, storage, networks, images, and other resources of the same type.
The resource pool management function allows you to effectively and efficiently use all resources.
Until now, launching or expanding business operations required the purchase of servers, storage, networks, and other resources. Furthermore, significant time and effort was spent preparing and organizing such operations. When the resource pool is used, the time and trouble of requests for decision, arrangements, and environment construction, etc. that were necessary for individual systems becomes unnecessary because it is possible to prepare a server (including storage and network) simply by allocating an appropriate resource that has been registered in the resource pool of this product. Preparation and operation of a premeditated infrastructure environment is possible. Moreover, it is possible to release resources when they become unnecessary, enabling re-assignment.
The types of resource pools are as described in "6.4 Resource Pool Types". For details, refer to "Chapter 20 Resource Pool Operations" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
Multiple resource pools can be created depending on operational requirements (hardware type, security, resource management units). If the resources in a resource pool are insufficient, a new resource can be added or a resource can be moved from another resource pool to compensate.
