Configuring a Resource Class
This section describes how to configure a resource class. You are advised to configure resource classes before creating any virtual system.
Context
All virtual systems created on a FW share the resources available on the FW. To ensure the availability of system resources for all virtual systems and prevent a virtual system from overusing system resources, restrict the amount of system resources available for each virtual system.
To do so, add a resource class, configure the system resources for the resource class, and bind the resource class to a virtual system.
A resource class can be bound to multiple virtual system. If multiple virtual systems require the same type and amount of system resources, bind the same resource class to each of these virtual systems.
Resource class r0 is bound to the public system by default and cannot be deleted or renamed.
Procedure
- Check resource usage.
Before allocating resources for virtual systems, check the available resources using a public system administrator account.
- Click Add to create and configure
a resource class.
Parameter Description Name Name of the resource class. Description
Description of the resource class.
The description must clearly indicate the function of the resource class so that virtual systems can be easily searched for.
Name Name of the resources to be allocated.
Reserved Minimum amount of a specified resource item available for a virtual system. Once the amount of system resources are assigned to a virtual system, they are exclusively used by the virtual system.
Maximum Maximum allowed amount of a specified resource item available for a virtual system. The actual amount of a specified resource item a virtual system can obtain depends on the competition of other virtual systems.
- Click OK.
