Hi Friends,

What the concurrent vms are started when the failover or failover testing is started?

6 Vms are cocurrently recovered or the number can be configued?

thanks.

Hi,

With SRM 4.x the number of concurrently recovered VMs was 2 VMs per host up to the maximum of 20 VMs (The "Best Practices" document http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/VMware-vCenter-SRM-WP-EN.pdf states 18, but I have seen 20 myself several times).

With SRM 5 the number is unlimited by default (http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/srm5-perf.pdf, page 13), but can be changed (either globally or per specific cluster): http://blogs.vmware.com/uptime/2011/10/working-at-the-edge-of-srm-5-limits.html

Thank you Michael.

Can increase the number of concurrently recovered VMs?

With 4.x it is not configurable AFAIK.
