Policy
|
The Edit Policy dialog box allows an administrator to set load balancing policy for a cluster to define the number of virtual machines that will be started on each host in the cluster. Set the Policy value to None to have no load or power sharing between hosts. This is the default mode.
|
Maximum Service Level
|
Use Even Distribution to evenly distribute the processing load across all hosts in the cluster. The host's CPU load is measured and used to apply the policy. Use the blue slider to specify the Maximum Service Level a host is permitted to have. A host that has reached the maximum service level defined will not have further virtual machines started on it. You can also specify the time interval in minutes that a host is permitted to run at the maximum service level before virtual machines are migrated off it. Selecting an even distribution load balancing policy causes virtual machines to be started on alternate hosts in the cluster to ensure that the CPU load on each host in the cluster is even.
|
Minimum Service Level
|
Use Power Saving to automatically reduce power consumption on under-utilized hosts. The green slider to specifies the Minimum Service Level a host is permitted to have. When a host has reached the minimum service level defined, virtual machines are migrated to other hosts. An administrator can then power down the hosts with low usage levels to conserve power. You can also specify the time interval (in minutes) that a host is permitted to run at the minimum service level before the migrations of any remaining virtual machines are triggered.
