Sizing error: VMs in cluster shouldn't exceed total cluster nodes | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

Hi,

 

I’m trying to make some changes to a configuration I put together for a customer, in relation to the Mine backup. I am trying to alter any aspect (in particular I’m trying to change the retention to be longer, wtih  fewer VM’s) - but each time I try I get the error “ The number of Server Virtualisation VMs in cluster: CLUSTER should not be more than total nodes in the cluster. “

 

Anyone know what this is please?

Hello @SiW-Ts 

Mine license doesn’t support run VMs inside it, its license for storing backup files inside as a NAS or Objects, only exception the Backup infra VMs and not more than 1 VM per node. That’s the rule.

If you adjust the source VMs numbers, make sure the source VMs (Which needs to be backed up) in as separate AOS cluster.


Moustafa,

 

Thanks for the reply - the primary workload was in one cluster and the backup (Mine) in another. But each time I try to modify the workload I get the error. However if I create a new backup cluster each time for Mine, I don’t get the error.
