2V0-622 · Question #118
What are two features of a resource pool? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is B. Allocates available resources among the virtual machines. C. Consolidates workloads to reduce the power consumed by the cluster.. Resource pools primarily allocate CPU and memory resources to groups of virtual machines and can consolidate workloads to reduce cluster power consumption via DPM integration.

Why each option
Resource pools primarily allocate CPU and memory resources to groups of virtual machines and can consolidate workloads to reduce cluster power consumption via DPM integration.
Controlling aggregate CPU and memory resources of the DRS cluster is a function of the DRS cluster configuration itself, not an individual resource pool.
Resource pools use shares, reservations, and limits to divide and distribute available CPU and memory resources among the virtual machines assigned to them, which is their core function.
Resource pools integrate with Distributed Power Management (DPM) in a DRS cluster to consolidate running workloads onto fewer hosts, allowing idle hosts to be powered down and reducing overall cluster power consumption.
Easy migration and monitoring are features associated with vMotion and vCenter inventory/monitoring tools, not core capabilities of resource pools.
