So, here we see our root resource pool and it's a standalone ESXi Host equipped with 48 gigabytes of memory. We've created a resource pool with a 16 gigabyte memory reservation. 16 gigabytes of memory on the ESXi Host is now reserved for this pool. And, it can't be used by any other virtual machines or resource pools. And, we see that the root resource pool now has 32 gigabytes of memory that remains and can be reserved by other objects. As we create child objects within this resource pool, we can configure reservations. For example, we could boot up four virtual machines each with memory reservations. And, in this case, these VMs would consume all by two gigabytes of the memory that the parent pool has…
