In the framework of type II seesaw mechanism we discuss the number of sterile right-handed Majorana neutrinos being the warm dark matter (WDM). When the type II seesaw mass term M{sub {nu}}{sup II} is far less than the type I seesaw mass term M{sub {nu}}{sup I}, only one of three sterile neutrinos may be the WDM particle. On the contrary, the WDM particles may contain all sterile neutrinos. If M{sub {nu}}{sup II}{approx}M{sub {nu}}{sup I}, the allowed number is not more than N-1 for N sterile neutrinos. It is worthwhile to stress that three different types of neutrino mass spectrum are permitted when M{sub {nu}}{sup II}>>M{sub {nu}}{sup I} and M{sub {nu}}{sup II}{approx}M{sub {nu}}{sup I}.
