We have about 900 vms in a RHEV-M 3.3 installation (3.3.2-0.50.el6ev) with =
three hosts.
Each VM has 1 socket, 1 core for CPU and 256 MB memory and 2 x 1TB disks + =
one 5 GB boot disk.
Each host has 2 cpu sockets with 4 cpu cores per socket.
When we power on about 250 of these vms, we cannot power on any more vms.
Attempting to do so gets the error (in the RHEV-M) console.
Bad volume specification {'index': 0, 'iface': 'virtio',

': 'off', 'type': 'disk'}.
This looks like a spurious error, as we can power on the same VM after rebo=
oting the hosts.
And also, the hosts do not really look maxed out (CPU usage is around 25%, =
memory around 50%), but no more vm=92s can be powered on.
I was looking for a sizing guide, and found only https://access.redhat.com/=
site/sites/default/files/attachments/rhev_sizing_0812.pdf
Is there any other information available?
