Storage vMotion - Max Cost per datastore

Does anyone know the current advanced setting to tune max cost per datastore?  The guidance on this is very old and I don't know if "config.vpxd.ResourceManager.maxCostPerDatastore" still works.  Also, is the name of the setting case sensitive?

Hi @rm_bk 

The advanced setting "config.vpxd.ResourceManager.maxCostPerDatastore" is no longer present in vSphere 7.

You can see the Storage vMotion is limited by network connection type (4 for 1GbE and 8 for 10GbE) and also 16 per source and target datastore.

https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.vcenterhost.doc/GUID-25EA5833-03B5-...

As changing the value was never supported VMware removed the option in vSphere 7 - unfortunatelly.
