# Cluster settings

The maximum and minimum cluster settings work together. Depending on your processing needs, you can use the cluster settings to run a multi-cluster warehouse in either Maximized mode or Auto-scale mode.

* If you set the minimum and maximum cluster count with the same value, then the warehouse runs in Maximized mode.
* If you set the minimum cluster count less than the maximum cluster count, then the warehouse runs in Auto-scale mode.

See the [Snowflake documentation](https://docs.snowflake.net) for more details.

| **Minimum cluster count** | If you are creating a multi-cluster warehouse, select the minimum number of server clusters for this virtual warehouse. Valid values are 1 to 10. The default value is 1. This value must be equal to or less than the Maximum cluster count. |
| **Maximum cluster count** | Select the maximum number of server clusters for this virtual warehouse. Valid values in the drop-down list are 1 to 10. The default value is 1. **Note:** Higher values require the Snowflake Enterprise Edition.                            |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pdia-data-integration/9.3-data-integration/pdi-job-entries-reference-overview/modify-warehouse-pdi-job-entry/options-modify-warehouse-job-entry/cluster-settings-modify-warehouse.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
