Chapter 14 Registering Resources in Resource Pools
This section explains how to register a resource managed by Resource Orchestrator to a resource pool.
A resource pool is a type of resource folder displayed on the orchestration tree of ROR console, which stores the resources for selection
when creating or adding L-Servers.
A resource pool type is specified when creating a resource pool, and only resources of a specific type are stored in each type of resource
pool. When installing Resource Orchestrator, one resource pool is created for each resource pool type. For details on operating multiple
resource pools, refer to "Chapter 20 Resource Pool Operations".
This section explains how to register resource pool types and resources to a resource pool.
