Explanation:

CPU Shares Memory Shares Allows you to specify the shares for this resource pool. The basic principles are the same as for virtual machines, discussed in .Shares. Reservation Displays the amount of CPU or memory the host reserves for this resource pool. Defaults to 0. A non-zero reservation is subtracted from the unreserved resources of the parent (host or resource pool). The resources are considered reserved, regardless of whether virtual machines are associated with the resource pool. Expandable reservation If this check box is selected (the default), and if the resource pool needs to make a reservation that is higher than its own reservation (for example, to power on a virtual machine), then the resource pool can use resources of a parent and reserve those resources. Limit Displays the upper limit on the CPU or memory that the host allocates to the selected resource pool. Default is unlimited. This default avoids wasting idle resources. Deselect the Unlimited check box to specify a different limit. Resource pool limits are useful, for example, if you want to assign a certain amount of resources to a group administrator. The group administrator can then create virtual machines for the group as needed, but never use more resources than specified by the limit.
