Create load level compute rules

To specify the CPU and RAM load on machines, use compute load level rules. The scheduler will use these rules to help determine if a physical machine is a candidate to hold a VM.

The platform uses Load level rules to specify the level that the scheduler can assign to the virtualization technology. The virtualization technology is responsible for managing the load that is assigned

You can create load level rules for the following elements:

a datacenter (all racks)
a rack (all servers on the selected rack)
a cluster (for supported hypervisors)
a specific server

You can only add one rule for an element at each level, but more than one rule may apply.

The priority order of rules is any cluster rule first (if it is present), then the other rules from the most specific rule to the least specific rule. A cluster rule affects all hosts in a cluster irrespective of their state, for example, it applies to hosts that are powered off.

To create a load level compute rule:

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

Go to Infrastructure → Private → select a 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 Global panel, click the Add button
Select the "Load level compute" rule type
Complete the dialog
