Maximum number of VMs you can Storage Vmotion at a time

[pperalta]

Hi Fellow VM Users,

I hope you guys are doing well! I am working to migrate all our VMs onto different datastores using Storage Vmotion. As I tried to do 5 at the same time, only 2 of them were working while the other 3 stayed pending until the other 2 finished. Do any of you know where the setting is to adjust that number of 2 higher?

Thanks for your time,

Phil

Hi

You can't ajust this setting.The limit is 4 concurrent at a time. But a Vmotion is 2 connections to the datastore svmotion is only one.

See page 246 in the admin guide. http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35/vi3_35_25_admin_guide.pdf
