More than two guest migrations at a time?

[rifraf]

I am moving roughly 60 guests from one host to another and it's only moving two at a time. Is there a way to change the amount of concurrent migrations? It's moving two at a time..

I think there's a limit on concurrent VMotions from and to a host. This limit has been increased to 8 in vSphere 4.1 I believe, in previous version it was either 2 or 4.

I don't think that this setting can be changed.

These two hosts are at V4 build 164009. If its 4, where is the setting?

2 is the limit. Upgrade to vSphere 4.1 for more.
