Manage external compute resource pools

About this task

A compute resource pool is the collection of compute resources in a virtualization platform. Each compute resource pool is identified by its virtualization platform type and IP address. Of all compute resource pools, cloudOS is the compute resource pool of the built-in CAS CVM.

This task describes the procedure to manage external compute resource pools. For information about managing the resource pool in the built-in CAS CVM, see "Manage built-in CVM."

Procedure

  1. On the top navigation bar, click Resources.

  1. From the left navigation pane, select Virtualization.

The page displays a dashboard and all compute resource pools in the left Virtualization menu pane.

  1. To have an overview of all compute resource pools, select Dashboard.

From the Dashboard page, you can obtain statistics such as the number of hosts, the number of cloud hosts, and the overall CPU and memory usage statistics.

  1. To access a compute resource pool, select the pool name. You can then select a cluster in the pool, a host in the cluster, and a cloud host on the host as needed.

  1. To obtain summary statistics about a compute resource pool, select its name.

The content pane displays its summary statistics, performance, resource usage, and top 5 charts, among others.

  1. To obtain information about a cluster in a compute resource pool or bulk manage hosts or cloud hosts in the cluster, select the pool name, and then select the cluster.

On the Hosts tab, you can wake up, restart, or shut down hosts, or set their maintenance mode. On the Cloud Hosts tab, you can incorporate cloud hosts, cancel cloud host incorporation, manage cloud host snapshots, move, start, restart, shut down, or destroy cloud hosts.

On the GPU Devices tab, you can view GPU usage statistics.

  1. To obtain detailed information about a host or manage cloud hosts on that host, select the cluster, and then select the host.

  1. To obtain detailed information about a cloud host or manage that cloud host, select the host, and then select that cloud host.

For more information about management of clusters, hosts, and cloud hosts, see help topics provided for their respective management pages.
