View resource allocation shortfall

Shortfall occurs when a consumer’s currently allocated slots (in non-management resource groups) are fewer than the number of guaranteed slots and there is an unsatisfied demand on those resource groups. This could occur if you have too few slots available in the hosts belonging to your resource group and that resource group has too many consumers drawing from it. You should add more member hosts to an under-allocated resource group or assign more resource groups to the consumers involved.

You can quickly identify if this condition exists in either the cluster or in one branch of the tree.

  1. In the Console, navigate to Resources > Monitor Resource Allocation.
  2. In the tree, select the focus (entire cluster or tree branch).

    A list of consumers displays.

  3. Sort by Under Allocation and repeat the sort selection to list consumers in descending order.

    If any consumer is under allocated, the Current Allocation is highlighted and the details of the under allocation are displayed.
