Creating a XenServer 5.5 Resource Pool with Shared iSCSI Storage
In this article, you will learn how to create a XenServer resource pool with shared iSCSI storage. A resource pool consists of multiple XenServer hosts joined together as a single, managed entity. When combined with shared storage, a resource pool enables virtual machines (VMs) to be started on any XenServer host containing the necessary available resources. VMs can also be moved dynamically between the members of the resource pool, using XenMotion, with minimal downtime. If an individual resource pool member has a hardware failure, then the administrator can restart the failed VMs on another resource pool member.
