How do I increase the number of allowed vNIC’s per VM? I need more than 10.

Thanks,
Alex

Has anyone found a way to increase the number of vNIC’s per host? I need more than 10.

Hi,
actually never tried. Have you checked things like HA config so it’s up 2 date and all VMs are protected?

thanks

Hello,

we have a 6.0 vCenter and 5.5 Hosts at this time. Can i create a cluster with 38 nodes or not? Is the Cluster nodes limit depending on the vCenter, the ESXi version or both?

What I found out – its a soft limit. I were able in a vCenter 5.5 to add more than 32 nodes to the cluster.

MFG

Hi,
i haven’t tested ESXi configuration maximums in term of VMs. Usually the maximum numbers is what has been included in QA and not hard limits but in this case i don’t know.

thanks

Hey Guys, I’m curios as to how many people might have tested the maximum VM’s on an ESXi host. VMware are reporting 1024. Are we to assume this is a theoretical maximum or actual? I’ve tried a number of configurations on various ESXi hosts and can only ever reach 680 VMs (powered off).

I appreciate that in the real world, this number is bonkers! But I’m testing our VVOL’s deployment at the moment, and I’m trying to test the max limits.

Thanks, Adam

This is great, very nice to have a quick easy list to learn the config maximums in a very easy to see and read format
