There is a setting someplace, dont remember where, but the default is 2 per host / 2 per LUN / 2 per data center at once.

So if you have 4 vmotion, and more than 2 of those are on a host / LUN / data center, the others will be suspended until they complete.. but like I said there are settings where you can change this, it's just using defaults.

I believe those numbers are accurate, at least they were for 4.1

OK I guess it is 4 per host, 128 per datastore, at least according to this:
