    <description>&lt;P&gt;As I know we have 2 limitation on FT when using enterprise plus license&lt;BR /&gt;1- Number of vcpu&lt;BR /&gt;2- Number of protect vms&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Number of vcpu is 8 and NUmber of protect vm is 4&lt;BR /&gt;I have confused for example I have 10 esxi hosts in my cluster&lt;BR /&gt;1- Does it mean maximum number of vms in the cluster that we can protect is 10 vms ?&lt;BR /&gt;2- Does it mean we can enable FT on a vm that has maximum 8vcpu ?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/275378"&gt;@baber&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So, as you know, the limitation on Fault Tolerance is 8 vCPU with the license you have and 4 VMs per Host (Changeable with an advanced parameter:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.avail.doc/GUID-57929CF0-DA9B-407A-BF2E-E7B72708D825.html" target="_blank"&gt;https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.avail.doc/GUID-57929CF0-DA9B-407A-BF2E-E7B72708D825.html&lt;/A&gt;)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you do not change any parameter at all, you can protect 4 VMs per Host, so in your case it will be 40 VMs. But at the same time these 4 VMs cannot be in total more than 8vCPU as that is a hard limit per host.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If we follow the same example, to protect 40 VMs, each of the VMs will need to have 2 vCPUs to reach the limit of 8 vCPU.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hope this is clear.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
