Vault limits

There is a limit to the number of vaults the system can contain. Standard and container vaults count towards this limit, but management and service vaults do not.

The maximum number of vaults is limited to 1000 by default. In some cases, certain system configurations can support up to 1500 vaults. For more information on increasing the vault limit beyond 1000 vaults, contact IBM Customer Support.

When the vault count exceeds 95 percent of the vault limit, a warning message appears on the home page with the current number of vaults.
The system is nearing the maximum number of 1000 standard vaults (996 are present). 
Once the limit is reached, standard vault creation requests will be rejected.
When the vault limit is reached, more vault creation requests are rejected.
