There are 3 ways to handle such limitation bugs:

1. The limitation should be fixed
QE will validate the fix and close the bug.

2. The limitation should be officially  documented - the bug  transferred to documentation team to document it
QE will validate the documentation and close the bug. 

3. If such documentation  already exist and public(we didn't find it) please  point us to it - QE will cancel the bug.

Done. This should be somewhere in https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.1/html/technical_reference/data_center_limitations

Comment 3 Roy Golan 2018-01-15 13:28:39 UTC
Just adding how to technically allow more hosts in a single DC:

$ engine-config -s MaxNumberOfHostsInStoragePool=400

Comment 4 Casper (RHV QE bot) 2022-09-06 12:31:53 UTC
This bug has low overall severity and is not going to be further verified by QE. If you believe special care is required, feel free to properly align relevant severity, flags and keywords to raise PM_Score or use one of the Bumps ('PrioBumpField', 'PrioBumpGSS', 'PrioBumpPM', 'PrioBumpQA') in Keywords to raise it's PM_Score above verification threashold (1000).

Comment 5 Sandro Bonazzola 2023-08-03 07:13:40 UTC
No updates in the last 5 years, closing as won't fix.
If still relevant please open an issue on https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-site/issues
