An administrator is moving a virtual machine into a resource pool. The VM and resource pool are configured as shown: VM configuration: 2GHz CPU reservation 1GB Memory limit Resource Pool configuration

Expandable reservations control whether a resource pool can borrow resources from its parent pool to satisfy child reservations; it does not cause VMs to inherit the pool's settings.

Moving a VM into a resource pool does not strip or remove its configured reservations and limits; those settings are preserved as part of the VM's configuration.

The VM does not receive the pool's 1 GB memory reservation - it retains its own 1 GB memory limit, which is a ceiling on consumption rather than a guaranteed allocation, and these two concepts are not interchangeable.

A VM's resource settings - reservations, limits, and shares - are VM-level properties that persist when the VM is relocated into a resource pool. The VM keeps its 2 GHz CPU reservation and its 1 GB memory limit because these are independent of the pool's own reservation and limit configuration. The pool's resources define the aggregate budget available to all its children, but do not replace individual VM settings.
