Example: Add Resource Pools to a Provider vDC
This example adds a resource pool to the Provider vDC created in “Example: Create a Provider vDC,” on
page 174. The additional resource pool is hosted on the same vCenter server that hosts the existing resource
pool. See “Retrieve a List of Resource Pools from a vCenter Server,” on page 168 for an example that lists the
resource pools available on that server.

Retrieve the resource pool list from the provider vDC. See “Retrieve a Provider vDC Resource Pool
Set,” on page 176. The VMWProviderVdcResourcePoolSet lists the provider vDC's existing resource pools.
Procedure
1 Examine the resource pool list and find the pool to remove.
2 Verify that no virtual machines are using the resource pool.
3 Create an UpdateResourcePoolSetParams element that contains a DeleteItem element for each resource
pool to remove.
4 POST the UpdateResourcePoolSetParams element you created in Step 3 to the provider vDC's
resourcePools link.
