In advanced settings Set config.vpxd.ResourceManager.maxCostPerHost to -1 This will set the value to default 2 . Add new configuration parameter in key and the apprpiate value vpxd.ResourceManager.costPerVmotionESX41 with value 4 Apologies I should note that this will limit vmotions to 2. The default is 8 units. This will overwrite your vpxd.conf on the VC server. Regards, Ross www.rhinofile.com Steps to limit vmotion:

1. on virtual center click on administration -> vcenter server settings -> advanced settings ->
1. In advanced settings Set
config.vpxd.ResourceManager.maxCostPerHost to -1
This will set the value to default
2 . Add new configuration parameter in key and the apprpiate value
vpxd.ResourceManager.costPerVmotionESX41 with value 4

Apologies I should note that this will limit vmotions to 2. The default is 8 units. This will overwrite your vpxd.conf on the VC server.
