What is the difference between sibling resource pool and nested resource pool?

Sibling pools are isolated from one another so that each cloud consumer is only provided access to its respective pool. In the nested pool model, larger pools are divided into smaller pools that individually group the same type of IT resources together (Figure 11.4).

Resource pools cannot nest and cannot overlap (that is, storage in one resource pool cannot be in another resource pool).

How do you use a resource pool?

For each resource pool, you can specify reservation, limit, shares, and whether the reservation should be expandable. The resource pool resources are then available to child resource pools and virtual machines. To configure Resource Pools you need to enable VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) on a cluster.
