How are resource pools used with programmable functions?

Resource pool usage

Resource pools are sets of alphanumeric strings that are used with programmable NSP functions, such as network intents. NSP maintains a list of available resource pools and allows administrators to create and modify pools. Resource pools provide a quick, reusable method to assign IP addresses, numbers, or text strings to ports when you are setting up automated processes.

Note: Resource pools have no relationship with network resource groups. The two have completely different functions in NSP.

You can create and manage the following types of resource pools:

• IP Address

• Numerical

• Text String

• Route Distinguisher or Route Target

You can assign utilization alarm thresholds to resource pools so that Warning, Minor, and Major alarms are generated when resource pool utilization exceeds a prescribed threshold. You assign utilization alarm thresholds to resource pools through threshold policies.

Dashboard view

The Dashboard is the default view of the Resource Management GUI. It displays your resource pools as dashlets. You can select which type of pools are displayed from the drop-down menu. The number of pools displayed in the Dashboard can be controlled by filtering the view based on pool name, scope, description, and threshold policy.
