Creating a resource pool for CML

In the Technical Preview (TP) release, you must create at least one resource pool for quota management. Do not use the ‘root.default’ resource pool for creating a workspace.

  1. Go to Cloudera Manager > Resource Utilization tab.
  2. Under the root.default resource pool (or any already created custom resource pool), create a child node for CML.

    Pools are organized in a hierarchical manner.

    CML reserves 30 GB Memory and 20 CPU for the CML workspace installation. The resource pool created for CML should have at least 38 GB of Memory and 22 CPU.

  3. Click the actions menu in a pool and select Add Child.

    The Add Quota dialog box opens.

  4. Enter the following information:
    • Name – Enter a name for this resource pool.
    • Memory – Use the sliders to select the memory allocation for the pool. Use the drop-down list to select the units.
    • CPU – Use the sliders to select the CPU allocation for the pool. You can choose how CPUs are counted by selecting cores or millicores from the drop-down list.
    • GPU – Use the sliders to select the GPU allocation for the pool.
    • Validity – Enter the length of time that the pool can remain active. To keep the pool active indefinitely, enter NEVER_EXPIRES.
    • Tags – Tags provide a way to add user-defined name/value pairs as metadata for the pools.

    Note that the maximum value of the sliders is limited by the available resources, that is, the total resources of the parent pool and the amount of resources not used by other sibling pools.
