Description

The New-SCOMResourcePool cmdlet creates a resource pool in System Center - Operations Manager. A resource pool enables a collection of management servers to distribute the workload.

Examples

Example 1: Create a resource pool

PS C:\>New-SCOMResourcePool -DisplayName "Pool01" -Member (Get-SCOMManagementServer) -PassThru

This example creates a resource pool named Pool01 that contains all management servers.

The command in parentheses, which is executed first, uses the Get-SCOMmanagementServer cmdlet to get all management servers. The cmdlet then passes the results of the command in parentheses to the New-SCOMResourcePool cmdlet, which creates the resource pool and adds the management servers.

Note: Because the management servers are added to this resource pool manually, this resource pool will not have automatic membership enabled, and you must add all future members manually.

Parameters

-ComputerName

Specifies an array of names of computers. The cmdlet establishes temporary connections with management groups for these computers. You can use NetBIOS names, IP addresses, or fully qualified domain names (FQDNs). To specify the local computer, type the computer name, localhost, or a dot (.).
