Take the 2-minute tour ×  Is anyone aware of a way to limit the
number of hosts allowed on single Hyper-V host? Either by
quantity or resource usage?  We are planning on using SCVMM and
MS Lab Manager for a development lab setup. This is for testing
a distributed application that requires lots of worker nodes.
These worker nodes are likely to be (pretty high spec)
workstations, so I am trying to avoid some one using the lab
management console to deploy an environment and overloading
these nodes.  share|improve this question  2 Answers 2  up vote

definitely do this. First create a template or two with the
specs that you want. Save these templates in your SCVMM library.
Now, from within SCVMM create a group and add your users who
will be managing/creating vm's. You can now assign a quota for
this group, or by user. Now it's just some simple math. How many
VMs can you put on there before it's overloaded? Set that as
your quota and you should be all set. Th
