After the resource pool is set up, you can point to the resource pool when you create the Data Director resource
bundle.
What to do next
Create a resource bundle. See “Create a Resource Bundle,” on page 21.
Create a Resource Bundle
Resource bundles allow you to bundle CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You create resource
bundles using the Data Director user interface.
When you create a resource bundle, the wizard displays only resource pools with a parent cluster that meets
the following requirements.
n
vSphere DRS and vSphere HA are enabled.
n
VM Monitoring is set to VM and Application Monitoring.
n
VM Restart Priority is not disabled for any of the virtual machines.
n
Host monitoring is enabled.
See “Perform Advanced Cluster Configuration,” on page 22 for details on recommended settings.
Prerequisites
n
Create a resource pool to use for allocating CPU and memory resources. See “Create a Resource Pool,” on
page 20.
n
Decide on the storage resources that you want to include in the resource bundle. Plan for storage resources
for database storage and resources for backup storage.
n
Decide on the networking resources that you want to include in the resource bundle. The resource bundle's
networking resources are used for the public network for databases in an organization.
NOTE If you do not configure your resource pool with these settings, problems with resource bundle creation
or other Data Director tasks might result.
Procedure
1 Log in to Data Director with system administrator privileges.
