How can I limit the number of concurrent template deployment operations?
Hi
I'm testing some software that attempts to deploy 5 templates concurrently. Every time I test this software, at least one of the deployment operations terminates with an 'Operation timed out' status. The servers running my ESXi 6.0 environment are older, and probably underpowered for this task. But I can't upgrade them.
How can I tune my ESXi environment to limit the number of concurrent template deployments?
Thanks!

Try to change the setting config.vpxd.ResourceManager.maxCostPerHost to something lower, see: http://www.vmtocloud.com/how-to-increase-vcenter-concurrent-clone-operations/

Hi
Thanks for the reply and the suggestion. I used VMware vSphere Client to add the resource 'config.vpxd.ResourceManager.maxCostPerHost' to vCenter Server settings, and then reset the vCenter Server VM. I now see "config.vpxd.ResourceManager.maxCostPerHost = 3" in the 'Advance3d vCenter Server Settings' list.
But, when I ran my application that creates VMs, I see that six templates are simultaneously deploying (I had hoped to limit this to 3). So it appear this setting is either being ignored, or is not limiting the number of simultaneous template deployments.
What else can I try?
Thanks

You see the six tasks, right? But all of them are running or some of them are waiting?

Hi
In the attached screenshot, you can see what I see. I've blanked the Target and Server fields, fyi. I believe the graphics indicate that all are running, yes?
Thanks
