I will try increasing the number as suggested, but I am also trying to understand the logic so that I can apply it to my capacity planning (At this point I have no clue as to what resource is causing the alarm to go off, memory seems the most obvious). I have tried reading multiple articles including the latest clustering deep dive book and I cant still grasp this HA admission control logic.
Anyways, here is additional info on my cluster:
My VM mem reservation add up to 40GB and cpu to 41200 MHz, like I said small...My total cluster resources 1.34 THz and 10.48 TB Memory. Based on the information provided in the article I linked in a previous reply and assuming the algorithm uses active memory (not consumed = used = active + overhead) everything tells me I have enough even to set a 0% degradation and be ok after half my cluster goes down. Please see a screenshot of my cluster resources attached.
Again, thanks for taking the time and for your quick response!
