# Why The Disk Allocation Ratio Set to 9999 Starting From Platform9 Managed OpenStack v4.0

## Problem

why the disk allocation ratio is set to 9999 in PMO v4.0 and later versions?

## Environment

* Platform9 Managed OpenStack - v4.0 and Higher
* Nova-Scheduler

## Answer

In PMO v3.11 we disabled **DiskFilter** in **nova-scheduler**. In the placement API introduced in PMO v4.0, there is no way to disable ram, core, and disk filters. To achieve the same functionality as earlier for disabling **DiskFilter** we set the disk allocation to a very high number in this case 9999.

## Additional Information

If single instance disk creation requests volume size for more than the physical disk available on the host then that host will be removed using the disk filter.
