1. Re: How to deploy multiple instances sequentially?
daphnissov Dec 5, 2018 12:57 PM (in response to darrenoid)Just to be clear, is your sole reason for wanting to do this because of the high datastore activity that concurrent clones generate?

darrenoid Dec 5, 2018 1:09 PM (in response to daphnissov)Hello daphnissov,
Yes, that is the main reason. It also makes the monitoring logs easier to follow for me without having to filter for individual machine names.

Jiju_25 Dec 5, 2018 9:18 PM (in response to darrenoid)By default vCenter supports 8 concurrent operations. vRA by default supports 2 concurrent provisioning. If you want to change the default provisioning from 2 to someother value after taking into consideration the endpoint[vcenter in this case] can handle it then you can change it accordingly.

4. Re: How to deploy multiple instances sequentially?
darrenoid Dec 18, 2018 1:27 PM (in response to daphnissov)I found a decent workaround to accomplish this. I fired off a deployment with 1 machine and then afterwards I used the scale out feature to add more machines 2 at a time. This worked well for me. It was also nice when a scale out request failed, I was able to just fire off another one while keeping the main deployment in tact. If I had deployed all instances at once in a single request and one of them failed, the whole deployment would have been destroyed.
