Item Description
Resource Type

Select a resource type to be included in this resource pool. Each resource type can be added to a resource pool one time; after a resource type is added to a pool, then it no longer appears in the drop-down list. Note that you cannot edit this value after the resource has been created.

Resource Availability

Select one of the following:

Available - Resource is available for selection during provisioning of a service.

Unavailable - Resource is not available for selection during provisioning of a service.

Unlimited - Resource is available for use with no restrictions on the number of allocations of this resource.

Total Available to CSA

Type a whole number to indicate the maximum capacity of this resource as provided to CSA by the provider.

You cannot set this value if Resource Availability is set to Unlimited.

Current CSA Utilization

Type a whole number to indicate the current CSA utilization of this resource. CSA automatically adjusts this value as allocations occur, but you can also set this value manually if desired. You cannot set this value higher than the value specified for Total Available to CSA.

Note If the Current CSA Utilization for a resource is not zero (0), you will not be able to delete this resource or its associated resource pool.

Also, you cannot edit this value when a new resource is initially created; however, you can edit it for an existing resource.
