Hi @davidvoogd,

Can you share a screenshot or the alert information from which you were informed about the limitation on the vdisk - an NCC alert / Prism health alert etc?



To determine the vdisk count on the system,

$ vdisk_config_printer > vcp.txt



$ cat vcp.txt | grep -w vdisk_id | wc -l



$ cat abc.txt | grep shell | wc -l



AOS 5.6 has a good upper threshold which should be able to handle most, if not all type of the load (in terms of vdisk count). I don't remember the threshold though.



Further if you see an anomaly or need further help and has a Support contract, I would suggest you have a support ticket filed for a swift resolution.



Hope that helps!



Regards,

Pradeep Mathew.

Hello Pradeep,

Thank you for your reply. There is no error or alert in Prism, I am just preparing to increase our snapshot retention and wanted to make sure there wasn't going to be an issue.



I had been told the number of snapshots we could retain was limited by the number of vDisks. According to this portal page: https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/docs/details?targetId=Web-Console-Guide-Prism-v56:app-system-maximums-r.html our max number of vDisks is 600,000.



Thank you for sharing the commands to determine the vDisks. I was able to run the first two lines successfully. The third however points to a non-existent file (abc.txt). I tried running it against vcp.txt and the count came up zero.



Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it!

-David
