    Suppose below information answers my question:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/test/hlk/testref/troubleshooting-system-server-testing

    Loadgen requests more clients
    If existing clients cannot generate enough stress against the SUT, Loadgen asks for more stress clients (SCs). This feature is intended to accommodate large servers, and the possibility of some SCs failing in the middle of a run. In general, you should start with eight SCs. The stress level should stabilize in the first three to four hours of the test. If more clients are needed, you will generally see the pop-up in the master controller (MC) in that time frame. You will have sixty minutes to add a new client or the test will terminate and fail.

    It says that I should start with eight SCs, so I think that only one SC should be with failing result.

    Please correct me if I am wrong.
