<font size="2" face="sans-serif">As I understand, the resource pool supporting is still in discussing. It is a sudden surprise that in IceHouse the resource pool can be found by configuring it as a cluster. Am I right?</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">By the way, I have read the code and found the reason:</font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">It applies "ClusterComputeResource" to retrieve all objects and then filter it by cluster name. ClusterComputeResource is a sub-class of ComputeResource which owns a property "ResourcePool". Then ClusterComputeResource inherit this property from its father class.</font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Then if you configure your cluster_name =<resource pool name> in /etc/nova/nova.conf, the resource pool can be discovered.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">It looks like that this is out of design. Now I am not sure whether this is only a surprise, or offically supported? Is there limitation in the discovered resource pool?</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Thanks.</font><br>
