Dear all
Hi
A couple question about maximum configuration :
Number of Concurrent Storage vMotion operations per host in vSphere 6.5 is :2
Is that means if i had 10vms on my esxi host and want do sVmotion from local disk to shared storage in the same time can sVmotion just 2 vms that each of them has one vdisk ?
2- What does this mean ?
Concurrent Storage vMotion operations per datastore
Actually what is difference between
"Concurrent Storage vMotion operations per datastore" and "Concurrent Storage vMotion operations per host"

Concurrent Storage Vmoiton per datastore : This means the SVmotion initiated for same datastore cannot be more than it is provided in document.
Concurrent Storage vMotion operations per host : This means the SVmotion initiated for same host cannot be more than it is provided in document.
Concurrently from one datastore /one host it should not exceed more than it states from configuration maximum guide.
-->Storage vMotion operations per host is 2
-->Storage vMotion operations per datastore is 8
Below blog explains you more about limitations please check :
vMotion Limits on Simultaneous Migrations - VMarena
Please consider marking this answer as correct and helpful if this helps you.

So thanks
but i want to know if want to do Svmotion from on host with local datastore to same host on shared storage mux svmotion in same time is 2 ?
BR

Yes. Its going to do 2 at a time.as per config maximum. For further help you can refer Below link.

As i understood :
Scenario1
1- if i want to do svmotion on one host between local datastore and shared storage, maximum concurrent svmotion is 2 vdisk with 1G network
2- if i want to do svmotion on one host between local datastore and shared storage, maximum concurrent svmotion is 2 vdisk with 10G network
3- Actually there is not any difference between 1G or 10G network adapter in scenario1
Scenario2
4- if i want to do svmotion on one host between datastore1(on shared storage) and datastore2(on shared storage), maximum concurrent svmotion is 128 vdisk with 1G network
5-if i want to do svmotion on one host between datastore1(on shared storage) and datastore2(on shared storage), maximum concurrent svmotion is 128 vdisk with 10G network
6-Actually there is not any difference between 1G or 10G network adapter in above scenario2
Are those correct?

Hi
Scenario1
1- if i want to do svmotion on one host between local datastore and shared storage, maximum concurrent svmotion is 2 vdisk with 1G network :
YES
2- if i want to do svmotion on one host between local datastore and shared storage, maximum concurrent svmotion is 2 vdisk with 10G network :
YES
3- Actually there is not any difference between 1G or 10G network adapter in scenario1 : YES
-----------------------------------------------
Scenario2
4- If i want to do svmotion on one host between datastore1(on shared storage) and datastore2(on shared storage), maximum concurrent svmotion is 128 vdisk with 1G network :
128 is given for VMOTION per datastore as per vmware maximum doc, its not for svmotion , For SVmotion per host it is 2 and per datastore it is 8

5-if i want to do svmotion on one host between datastore1(on shared storage) and datastore2(on shared storage), maximum concurrent svmotion is 128 vdisk with 10G network
128 is given for VMOTION per datastore as per vmware maximum doc, Its not for SV motion

You are right Gayathri,
Below link can also be referred.
Network limits apply only to migrations with vMotion. Network limits depend on the version of ESXi and the network type. All migrations with vMotion have a network resource cost of 1.
Operation | ESXi Version | Network Type | Maximum Cost |
---|---|---|---|
vMotion | 5.0, 5.1, 5.5, 6.0 | 1GigE | 4 |
vMotion | 5.0, 5.1, 5.5, 6.0 | 10GigE | 8 |
Datastore limits apply to migrations with vMotion and with Storage vMotion. A migration with vMotion has a resource cost of 1 against the shared virtual machine's datastore. A migration with Storage vMotion has a resource cost of 1 against the source datastore and 1 against the destination datastore.
Operation | ESXi Version | Maximum Cost Per Datastore | Datastore Resource Cost |
---|---|---|---|
vMotion | 5.0, 5.1, 5.5, 6.0 | 128 | 1 |
Storage vMotion | 5.0, 5.1, 5.5, 6.0 | 128 | 16 |
Host limits apply to migrations with vMotion, Storage vMotion, and other provisioning operations such as cloning, deployment, and cold migration. All hosts have a maximum cost per host of 8. For example, on an ESXi 5.0 host, you can perform 2 Storage vMotion operations, or 1 Storage vMotion and 4 vMotion operations.
Operation | ESXi Version | Derived Limit Per Host | Host Resource Cost |
---|---|---|---|
vMotion | 5.0, 5.1, 5.5, 6.0 | 8 | 1 |
Storage vMotion | 5.0, 5.1, 5.5, 6.0 | 2 | 4 |
vMotion Without Shared Storage | 5.1, 5.5, 6.0 | 2 | 4 |
Other provisioning operations | 5.0, 5.1, 5.5, 6.0 | 8 | 1 |

So thanks
Is that your means maximum sVmotion from local disk on host1 to shared storage on host2
BR
Yes ,
SV motion per host is 2
SV motion per datastore is 8
Please consider marking this answer as correct and helpful if this helps you.

Is that your means maximum sVmotion from local disk on host1 to shared storage on host2 is 8 vdisk ?
If you are migrating a VM from Datastore 1 to datastore 2 irrespective of host.
per datastore you can have maximum 8 storage vmotion concurrently , i.e what below screenshot and provided doc explains:
If you are migrating VM from datastore1 to datastore 2 , per host concurrently you can have 2 SV motion being initiated .

So thanks according your table wiuld you please answer this question clearly?
Is that your means maximum sVmotion from local disk on host1 to shared storage on host2 is 8 vdisk ?
BR
Is that your means maximum sVmotion from local disk on host1 to shared storage on host2 is 8 vdisk ?
NO, it means it's 2 concurrent svMotions.
Thanks but 2 concurrent sVmotion is for one host in previous scenario i want do sVmotion from local esxi host1 to shared storage on host2
BR
It doesn't matter, they still originate from a single host.
I am so confused in previous post :
SV motion per host is 2
SV motion per datastore is 8
now in this scenario i am doing svmotion from host1 local datastore to host2 on shared storage (these are different hosts and different storage)
what is the max svmotion in this scenario?
As I said, 2. Host 1 only has local storage, not shared storage. This is where the source VMs originate, therefore you have 2 max svMotions available. Why are you so concerned about this? Try it out in your own environment. It's very easy to test.
