Allow oversubscription of compute resources

For a test platform, you may wish to allow users to work with more compute resources than are present in your servers.

To allow oversubscription for a test platform, create compute load level rules for CPU and RAM for each server.

We do not recommend the use of oversubscription for a production environment.
The platform allocates the resources to the virtualization technology, but the virtualization technology is responsible for managing the resources.
Always consult the virtualization provider's documentation to determine safe values for your environment, for example, https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1003497

To create a load level compute rule:

Privileges: 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, to go to Servers view, at the top of the Datacenters list, click the Server symbol
Go to Allocation rules
On the Global panel, click the + add button
Select the Load level compute rule type
1. If you are using vCenter clusters as servers, select Server
2. If you are using vCenter hosts, select Server or Cluster
Complete the dialog:
1. Optionally, select a specific server
2. For CPU and RAM set values above 100%

Restrict compute resources to 90 percent
