Increase Message VPN limit

I am running docker for Mac as described here Setting Up Container Images >
Container starts OK. But will not allow me to create more than 3 VPN - it responds “Message VPN limit reached”. I cannot find any relevant documentation covering this configuration option. How do I increase the maximum number of VPN? My use case requires 4 VPN.
My docker-compose.yml:
solace:

image: solace/solace-pubsub-standard:9.4.0.85
shm_size: 4g
ulimits:
core: 1
nofile:
soft: 418332
hard: 418332
environment:
- username_admin_globalaccesslevel=admin
- username_admin_password=admin
- system_scaling_maxconnectioncount=1000
ports:
- “8080:8080”
- “55551:55555”
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Hi @jahwag,
you’re using the standard edition, and the standard edition has a low message vpn limit - as documented here:
Editions of the Software Event Broker
If you need 4 message vpns you can either use multiple standard editions or use the enterprise edition (where a license is required).
BTW: In your docker compose file, version 9.4 is used… You should change this to 9.13. (but this wont change anything on the number of message vpns you can use).

@uherbst
Thank you for clearing that up!
Mixed up editions. Earlier we used Enterprise 8.5.0.1008. I have located a more recent version, Solace PubSub+ Enterprise Version 9.12.1.17. However with it I am still receiving the error message “Message VPN limit reached.”.

Just to be very clear here: You use Enterprise Version 9.12.1.17 and you can only create 3 message-vpns ?

Please do in cli:
show version
show message-vpn *

and copy the output here.

I think it was cached layers causing some issue. It cleared up now. Thanks!
