Increase Maximum Number of Managed Hosts Per HMC Supported By PowerVC

I would like for PowerVC to support more than 30 HMC-managed hosts. I'm attempting to setup PowerVC in our environment, but ran into this limitation since we have 33 hosts attached to our HMC. Adding hosts within the PowerVC GUI fails because of this. We are planning on adding more hosts to this HMC in the near future as well.

    Thank you for the suggestion! The recommended and supported solution of PowerVC managing in excess of 30 hosts is by adopting the NovaLink management paradigm; NovaLink provides an architecture that is horizontally scalable up to 200 hosts. Please take a look at this great article that describes how to get started with NovaLink: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Power%20Systems/page/Introducing%20PowerVM%20NovaLink

    Thanks for using PowerVC and please let us know if you have additional questions or comments!
