Simultaneous storage vmotion?

Since Vsphere 4.1 improves on the Scsi reservation issue by doing it at the block level now(I think anyway), is it relatively safer to do more than 1 storage vmotion? I know in esx 3.5 we ran into some huge issues one time while doing 4 at a time, so since then we simply do one at a time.

Thanks!

In Virtual Center 2.5 you could do unlimited, because it was a 3rd party plugin wich did not limit the SvMotion sessions

In VCenter 4.0 you could do 2 at a time and the rest is pending.

In VCenter 4.1 you can do 4 at a time

As long as your Network is stable, you should have no problem running 4 at a time on VC 4.1
