Procedure

1. If you see "Failed to create workspace" or "Workspace limit reached (120/120)", free up workspace capacity by using one of the following methods:

   • Delete empty workspaces: On the Hybrid Cloud Console, navigate to Inventory Workspaces, identify workspaces that contain no systems, and delete the ones you no longer need. For details, see Deleting workspaces.
   • Merge workspaces: Review your existing workspaces to identify those with similar user groups and role bindings. Move systems from many workspaces into a single workspace and delete the now-empty workspaces.

   • Remove systems before deleting: Before deleting a workspace that has systems, remove the systems from the workspace or move them to another workspace. Systems removed from a workspace automatically move to the Ungrouped Hosts workspace.

     After you delete one or more workspaces, retry creating the new workspace.

2. If you see "Workspace access permissions needed", contact your organization administrator to request the Workspace administrator role. For details about workspace permissions, see User access to workspaces.
3. If you see an error that a workspace name already exists, choose a different name for your workspace.
