The following example shows the install logs output:

----
level=error msg="Error: Error creating S3 bucket: TooManyBuckets: You have attempted to create more buckets than allowed"
----

The following example shows the {cluster-manager} output:

[source,terminal]
----
Provisioning Error Code:    OCM3014
Provisioning Error Message: S3 buckets limit exceeded. Clean unused S3 buckets or increase quota and try again.
----

This type of error indicates that you have reached the quota for the number of S3 buckets.

.Procedure

* To fix this issue, try one of the following methods:
+
** Request a quota increase from AWS:
.. Sign in to the link:https://aws.amazon.com/console/[AWS Management Console].
.. Click your user name and select **Service Quotas**.
.. Under **Manage quotas**, select an AWS service to view available quotas.
.. If the quota is adjustable, you can choose the button or the name, and then choose **Request quota increase**.
+
** Clean unused S3 buckets. You can only delete buckets that do not have any objects in them. Make sure the bucket is empty:
.. Sign in to the link:https://aws.amazon.com/console/[AWS Management Console].
.. Open the **Amazon S3** console.
.. In the **Buckets** list, select the option next to the name of the bucket that you want to delete, and then choose **Delete** at the top of the page.
.. On the **Delete bucket** page, confirm that you want to delete the bucket by entering the bucket name into the text field, and then choose **Delete bucket**.

If you empty a bucket, this action cannot be undone.
