What is ciscoVdcMaxNumberVdcAllowed?

This read-only Integer32 reports the maximum number of Virtual Device Context (VDC) instances that can be created on the chassis. An admin planning to carve the switch into multiple logical devices needs this number to know how much headroom remains before hitting a hardware or license limit. On a platform that reports a max of 4, an admin who has already created 3 VDCs knows only one more can be provisioned.
