# Troubleshoot insufficient resources error

> Learn how to resolve insufficient resource errors that prevent resource creation.

This guide explains how to identify and resolve insufficient resource errors when creating virtual hosts, containers, or disks within a project. These issues are typically related to reaching defined project quotas.

## Identify resource quota issues {#identify-resource-quota-issues}

To identify resource quota issues:

1. **Review error categories:**
   - Check the error messages in the user interface. Common issues include:
     - Insufficient disk space
     - Insufficient memory
     - Other resource limitations (e.g., CPU cores, network ports)
2. **Check project activity:**
   - Navigate to **Project Home > Summary > Activities** in the user interface.
   - Look for events confirming resource quota violations or failures due to resource constraints.
3. **Confirm resource status:**
   - In the Infrastructure service, switch to the project experiencing the issue.
   - Navigate to the **Overview** section and review current resource usage against the project's allocated quotas.

## Adjust project quotas {#adjust-project-quotas}

If a resource shortage is confirmed, administrators can adjust project quotas using the Admin Panel (recommended for common adjustments) or the CubeCOS Infrastructure service (for advanced adjustments).

Ensure resource quota adjustments align with the requested quota.

### Adjust resources via the infrastructure service {#adjust-resources-via-the-infrastructure-service}

To adjust resources using the Infrastructure service:

1. Log in to the cloud platform as an administrator.
2. Navigate to **Integrations > OpenStack** and click **Connect** to manage infrastructure quotas.
3. Switch to the **Administrative Panel**. For more details, see [How to Navigate to the CubeCOS Administrative Panel](https://docs.bigstack.co/docs/cubecos/identity/administrator-view).
4. Navigate to **Identity > Projects** to view the list of projects within the cluster.
5. Click **More** for the target project and select **Edit Quota**.
6. Adjust the relevant quota values to meet the new project requirements.
7. Click **OK** to save and apply the changes.
