name	Introduction to allocation rules

The platform uses allocation rules to control the scheduling of resources in datacenters, although your virtualization technology must manage the use of the resources. For details of the allocation process, see the Virtual machine allocation section.

There are two types of allocation rules: Global rules apply to all datacenters and Datacenter rules apply to the selected datacenter.

Excerpt

name	Create datacenter load balance rules

The platform uses allocation rules to control the scheduling of resources in datacenters, although your virtualization technology must manage the use of the resources. For details of the allocation process, see the Virtual machine allocation section.

You can create the following types of load balance rules:

PERFORMANCE: select the machine with the most available resources. If more than one physical machine has the same resources available, use a round-robin algorithm to allocate each VM to a different physical machine.
PROGRESSIVE: select the same physical machine until it is full, then change to another one. Begin with the machine with the most available resources. Default rule

A datacenter load balance rule will have priority over a global load balance rule.

To create a datacenter load balance rule:

Privileges: Access infrastructure view and Private DCs, View datacenter details, Manage allocation rules

Go to Infrastructure → Private → select datacenter
If you are in Map view or Statistics view, click the server symbol in top right-hand corner to go to Servers view
Go to Allocation rules
On the Datacenter panel, click the + add button
Select Load balance as the rule type
Select the load balance type
