The resource pool setting used to specify the relative priority or importance as high, normal, or low is "Shares."

Shares is a resource allocation setting in vSphere that allows you to allocate resources among virtual machines (VMs) and resource pools. Shares enable you to specify a priority or importance for a VM or resource pool relative to other VMs or resource pools. The higher the share value, the higher the priority or importance.

There are three levels of share values available in vSphere: High, Normal, and Low. By default, all VMs and resource pools have a Normal share value.

You can change the share value of a VM or resource pool by adjusting the number of shares it receives relative to other VMs or resource pools. For example, if you assign a VM or resource pool High shares, it will receive a greater percentage of available resources than other VMs or resource pools that have Normal or Low shares.

Therefore, in order to specify the relative priority or importance of a VM or resource pool, you should use the "Shares" resource allocation setting. Limits, reservations, and reservation types are other resource allocation settings that control how resources are allocated to VMs or resource pools, but they do not prioritize resource allocation among them.
