I have an eve-ng install on esxi in a cloud. I have 6 routers in a lab, and only the one lab. I have ran the permissions fix etc..

When I go to add "any new node" I get the error message about max nodes which I obviously dont have. Each of the 6 routers has the 12 port card but that is still 72 if nodes means interfaces.

Any suggestions?

I have a green car and it doesn't drive.

Any suggestion?

For god's sake, provide more info when you report an issue about system, versions etc.

READ - viewtopic.php?f=3&t=453

You also have that written in the board when you enter the Help-Desk

Before posting something, READ the changelog, WATCH the videos, howto and provide following:
Your install is: Bare metal, ESXi, what CPU model, RAM, HD, what EVE version you have, output of the uname -a and any other info that might help us faster.

I do have a suggestion, try being nicer.

Its my second post here and I am trying to figure this all out. I will get you all of that information as clearly its critical to getting a reasonable reply, please standby.

+++Forum, FAQ & Video's+++
I reviewed and search all of the above, I do not see anything about troubleshooting the ‘max node limit’ error message. If you are aware of its location please advise and I will follow them asap.

You will find attached a screenshot as well that shows the nodes active in the only lab.

Try upgrading to the latest version - 83
Will be nicer sorry

just tested on the latest version - 7 x 3725 with 2x 16SW slots all good and can add new nodes just fine
Check also with df -h the free space, maybe your run out of it and need to add.

Upgrading solved this issue thank you for the recommendation
