vRNI Maximum application/tier definitions

[MaasMathijs]

Hi All,

In my quest to automate the creation of Micro-segmentation NSX firewall rules i've created a script which creates an application/tier definition in vRNI (using the REST API) for each VM in corresponding vCenter/vSphere environment. (so i can export the vRNI recommended firewall rules for this "application"/vm)

The script worked sweet and got me the results I needed, BUT after creating 1.000 applications(profiles) I received an error from the REST API interface that I’ve reached the maximum amount of applications! Is this by design? Can vRNI only contain a maximum of 1K applications?!

I know i'm kind of pushing the limits of vRNI here, but 1K applications seems a low limit which could be reached by normal use in a large environment?

Hope this is just a soft-limit which can be tuned and exceeded (in future releases of vRNI)?

Kind regards,

Mathijs van der Maas

Currently this is a limit. We absolutely intend to extend this limit over future releases.
