Get-ResourcePool

Retrieves the resource pools available on a vCenter Server system. The cmdlet returns a set of resource pools that correspond to the filter criteria provided by the cmdlet parameters. Virtual machine hosts have a hidden resource pool named Resources, which is a parent of all resource pools of the host. To specify a server different from the default one, use the Server parameter.
