<div>When I boot 50 VMs using “—min-count 50”, only 48 VMs come up.</div>

<div>There is no error in logs; and it happens consistently. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I also tried “—min-count 60” and only 48 VMs com up.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In Horizon, left pane “Admin” -> “System” -> “Hypervisors”, it shows both Compute hosts, each with 32 total VCPUs for a grand total of 64, but only 48 used.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is this normal behavior or is there any other setting to change in order to use all 64 VCPUs?</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>
