When a customer has a deployed Azure VMware Solution private cloud, they can scale the private cloud by adding a separate AV64 vCenter node cluster to that private cloud. In this scenario, customers should use the following steps:

1. Get an AV64 [quota approval from Microsoft](/azure/azure-vmware/request-host-quota-azure-vmware-solution) with the minimum of three nodes. Add other details on the Azure VMware Solution private cloud that you plan to extend using AV64.

2. For RAID-6 FTT2 or RAID-1 FTT3 support, ask Microsoft support to provide you with a feature flag to consume seven Fault Domains per AV64 cluster.

**Customer plans to create a new Azure VMware Solution private cloud**: When a customer wants a new Azure VMware Solution private cloud that can use AV64 SKU but only for expansion. In this case, the customer meets the prerequisite of having an Azure VMware Solution private cloud built with AV36, AV36P, or AV52 SKU. The customer needs to buy a minimum of three nodes of AV36, AV36P, or AV52 SKU before expanding using AV64. For this scenario, use the following steps:

**Azure VMware Solution stretched clusters private cloud**: The AV64 SKU isn't supported with Azure VMware Solution stretched clusters private cloud. This means that an AV64-based expansion isn't possible for an Azure VMware Solution stretched clusters private cloud.

### AV64 Cluster vSAN fault domain (FD) design and recommendations

The traditional Azure VMware Solution host clusters don't have explicit vSAN FD configuration. The reasoning is the host allocation logic ensures, within clusters, that no two hosts reside in the same physical fault domain within an Azure region. This feature inherently brings resilience and high availability for storage, which the vSAN FD configuration is supposed to bring. More information on vSAN FD can be found in the [VMware documentation](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.vsan.doc/GUID-8491C4B0-6F94-4023-8C7A-FD7B40D0368D.html).
