Hi Gagan, I have found that the “insufficient capacity” error can be misleading. What version of CloudStack are you using and what hypervisor are your hosts?
With CS 4.5.1 + XenServer 6.5, I just saw “insufficient capacity” when trying to start a stopped instance but the problem was actually a bootloader problem on the bad instance. The best thing to do would be to tail the management log while trying to create the new instance to see what the error in the log is. That is how I found what the actual error was in my case. regards, -Carlos > On Jul 29, 2015, at 10:27 PM, gagan chhabra <gagan.13031...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I am just trying to get the Env up and running and its just private to my > Institute.
