Example:

// Create a pool that could have at most 2 blocks, 128 MiB each.
VmaPoolCreateInfo poolCreateInfo = {};
poolCreateInfo.memoryTypeIndex = ...
poolCreateInfo.blockSize = 128ull * 1024 * 1024;
poolCreateInfo.maxBlockCount = 2;
VmaPool pool;
vmaCreatePool(allocator, &poolCreateInfo, &pool);
// Allocate a buffer out of it.
VkBufferCreateInfo bufCreateInfo = { VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_BUFFER_CREATE_INFO };
bufCreateInfo.size = 1024;
bufCreateInfo.usage = VK_BUFFER_USAGE_UNIFORM_BUFFER_BIT | VK_BUFFER_USAGE_TRANSFER_DST_BIT;
VmaAllocationCreateInfo allocCreateInfo = {};
allocCreateInfo.pool = pool;
VkBuffer buf;
VmaAllocation alloc;
VmaAllocationInfo allocInfo;
vmaCreateBuffer(allocator, &bufCreateInfo, &allocCreateInfo, &buf, &alloc, &allocInfo);

You have to free all allocations made from this pool before destroying it.

-
vmaDestroyBuffer(allocator, buf, alloc);
vmaDestroyPool(allocator, pool);
+
vmaDestroyBuffer(allocator, buf, alloc);
vmaDestroyPool(allocator, pool);

+Choosing memory type index

+

When creating a pool, you must explicitly specify memory type index. To find the one suitable for your buffers or images, you can use code similar to the following:

+
VkBufferCreateInfo dummyBufCreateInfo = { VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_BUFFER_CREATE_INFO };
dummyBufCreateInfo.size = 1024; // Whatever.
dummyBufCreateInfo.usage = VK_BUFFER_USAGE_UNIFORM_BUFFER_BIT | VK_BUFFER_USAGE_TRANSFER_DST_BIT; // Change if needed.
VkBuffer dummyBuf;
vkCreateBuffer(device, &dummyBufCreateInfo, nullptr, &dummyBuf);
VkMemoryRequirements memReq;
vkGetBufferMemoryRequirements(device, dummyBuf, &memReq);
VmaAllocationCreateInfo allocCreateInfo = {};
allocCreateInfo.usage = VMA_MEMORY_USAGE_GPU_ONLY; // Change if needed.
uint32_t memTypeIndex;
vmaFindMemoryTypeIndex(allocator, memReq.memoryTypeBits, &allocCreateInfo, &memTypeIndex);
vkDestroyBuffer(device, dummyBuf, nullptr);
VmaPoolCreateInfo poolCreateInfo = {};
poolCreateInfo.memoryTypeIndex = memTypeIndex;
// ...

Dummy buffer is needed to query driver for memReq.memoryTypeBits. Memory is never allocated for this buffer. You should fill structures dummyBufCreateInfo and allocCreateInfo with the same parameters as you are going to use for buffers created in your pool.
