Configuring ownership in a multidimensional resource plan

Follow these steps to configure resource ownership in a multidimensional resource plan.

Before you begin

You must be a cluster administrator, or have permissions for the parent consumer of the consumer for which you want to modify multidimensional resource plan details.

Procedure

  1. From the cluster management console Dashboard, select Resources > Resource Planning (Multidimensional) > Resource Plan.
  2. Select the Plan Details tab.
  3. Click Ownership.
  4. Set the time interval for when this resource ownership plan takes effect. See Adding a time interval.
  5. Select a consumer for which you want to customize the configuration of resource ownership settings.
  6. Select a resource group from which the consumer owns a number of hosts. The consumer can own an absolute number of hosts or a percentage of hosts in the resource group.
  7. If you want consumers to own an absolute number of entire hosts, click Host ownership: Own an absolute number of hosts.
    1. For each consumer in the list, configure the number of owned hosts and reserved hosts. If you configure the same values for both owned hosts and reserved hosts for a consumer, that consumer does not lend out any hosts. For example, if you configure 10 owned hosts and 10 reserved hosts, it means that all the owned hosts are reserved, so there is no lending.
    2. For each consumer in the list, specify the consumer rank. By default, all consumers have the highest possible rank (0). You can lessen a consumer's rank by specifying a higher numeric value.
  8. If you want consumers to own a percentage of each host, click Percentage host ownership: Own some percentage of each host. For each consumer in the list, specify a percentage per host of the consumer's ownership and reserved ownership for each resource metric. If you configure the same resource metric values for both ownership and reserved ownership for a consumer, that consumer does not lend out any hosts.
  9. Click Apply to save the changes.

What to do next

If your plan is intended for slot-based workload, you can optionally configure slot mapping to the resource metrics. See Mapping slots in a multidimensional resource plan
