Adjust the Resource Pool Allocation for CIM Providers

When you install several CIM provider VIBs on an ESXi system, you might find that the providers as a whole exceed the default capacity of the memory resource pool allocated for plug-ins. Therefore, if you experience memory contention after adding more than one CIM plug-in, you may need to adjust the memory pool on your ESXi server.

To adjust the resource pool using the vSphere client

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the Host->Configuration->System Resource Allocation->Advanced page.
  2. Select a resource pool, click the right mouse button, and select ‘Edit Settings’.
  3. Use the slider mechanism or the up and down arrows to adjust the resource allocation for each pool.
