+## CycloneDDS: Failed to find a free participant index
+
+### Symptoms
+
+When running Autoware on **ROS 2 Jazzy** (Ubuntu 24.04) with `RMW_IMPLEMENTATION=rmw_cyclonedds_cpp`, some nodes fail to start with errors such as:
+
+```text
+[component_container_mt-16] Failed to find a free participant index for domain 0
+[component_container_mt-16] [ERROR] [rmw_cyclonedds_cpp]: rmw_create_node: failed to create domain, error Error (check_create_domain() at ./src/rmw_node.cpp:1242)
+[component_container_mt-16] terminate called after throwing an instance of 'rclcpp::exceptions::RCLError'
+[component_container_mt-16]   what():  failed to initialize rcl node: error not set, at ./src/rcl/node.c:252
+```
+
+This often occurs when launching demos that use many nodes (e.g. [Planning Simulator](https://autowarefoundation.github.io/autoware-documentation/main/demos/planning-sim/)).
+
+### Cause
+
+CycloneDDS itself defaults to `ParticipantIndex=none`, which does not limit the number of participants. However, on ROS 2 Jazzy, **rmw_cyclonedds_cpp** builds the domain configuration and explicitly sets `ParticipantIndex=auto` and `MaxAutoParticipantIndex=32`, overriding the CycloneDDS default. As a result, only about 32 DDS participants can exist per host. Autoware can use more DDS participants than this limit (e.g. 100 or more), so new nodes cannot obtain a free participant index and fail to create the domain.
+
+This behavior comes from the RMW implementation; see [rmw_cyclonedds: check_create_domain()](https://github.com/ros2/rmw_cyclonedds/blob/7cd457de5825d4cb46ec7b081aa00a5392e388d0/rmw_cyclonedds_cpp/src/rmw_node.cpp#L1193-L1199) (lines 1193–1199).
+
+### Solution
+
+Configure CycloneDDS by adding a `<Discovery>` section to your `cyclonedds.xml` with `ParticipantIndex` set to `none`:
+
+```xml
+<Discovery>
+  <ParticipantIndex>none</ParticipantIndex>
+</Discovery>
+```
+
+A full example is given in [CycloneDDS Configuration](../../../installation/additional-settings-for-developers/network-configuration/dds-settings.md#cyclonedds-configuration).

+!!! note "When using CycloneDDS on ROS 2 Jazzy (Ubuntu 24.04)"
+
+    On ROS 2 Jazzy, the default maximum Participant Index in rmw_cyclonedds_cpp is limited to around 32, which can cause a "Failed to find a free participant index for domain 0" error when running many nodes (e.g. planning simulator). Adding the `<Discovery>` section above with `ParticipantIndex` set to `none` avoids this error. For more details, see [Runtime Troubleshooting: CycloneDDS failed to find a free participant index](../../../community/support/troubleshooting/runtime-troubleshooting.md#cyclonedds-failed-to-find-a-free-participant-index).
