  2. Complete the following fields and click OK:
    • Name
      Identifies the resource pool name.
    • Min CPU Shares
      Identifies the minimum number of CPU shares that the pool must have at any time.
    • Max CPU Shares

      The pool is created, and a confirmation message appears.
  3. Select TS to use Time Share Scheduling to allocate CPU resource.
  4. Click the Event tab for the Zones server on which you created the pool, and select Resource Pools in the Show drop-down list to verify that the pool was created.
