Option Description
Shares Memory shares for this vApp with respect to the parent’s total. Sibling vApps
share resources according to their relative share values bounded by the
reservation and limit. Select Low, Normal, or High, which specify share values
respectively in a 1:2:4 ratio. Select Custom to give each vApp a specific number
of shares, which express a proportional weight.

upper limit.
