| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Problem: |
| 4 | +When attempting to provision a Gaudi 3 Virtual Server Instance (VSI), you may encounter the following error: |
| 5 | +``` |
| 6 | +"over_quota" |
| 7 | +"A non-dedicated host VSI with this profile (XXX vCPUs) will put user over quota….” |
| 8 | +``` |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +You may also see the following alert when going through the provisioning steps: |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +## Solution: |
| 14 | +To successfully provision a single Gaudi 3 node, your IBM Cloud account must have the following minimum resource quotas: |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +1. **vCPUs**: 160 |
| 17 | +2. **Memory**: 1792 GiB |
| 18 | +3. **Instance Storage**: 26 TB |
| 19 | +4. **GPUs**: 8 |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +If you’d like to provision more than one Gaudi 3 node (8 Gaudi 3 AI Accelerators) under the same IBM Cloud Account, multiply the above values by the number of nodes. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +### Example: Provisioning 2 nodes of Gaudi 3 would require a minimum quota of: |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +1. **vCPUs**: 320 (160 x 2) |
| 26 | +2. **Memory**: 3584 GiB (1792 x 2) |
| 27 | +3. **Instance Storage**: 52 TB (26 x 2) |
| 28 | +4. **GPUs**: 16 (8 x 2) |
