[one-users] max number of VMs that can be started at once ?

Hi Sebastien,

There is indeed a limit in the number of threads that the transfer
manager uses. It is currently 10, and it can be changed in line 39 of
$ONE_LOCATION/lib/mads/one_tm.rb.

I am assuming that machines 67-72 are eventually transferred. It is
odd though that you experience a 6 transfers limit instead of the
expected 10. This may be due to previous active epilogs or maybe even
crashed prologs. OpenNebula 1.4 will offer the ability to cancel this
crashed threads.

If there is no obvious explanation for the missing 4 transfers you can
send through the tm_ssh.log for us to analyze.

Best regards,

-Tino
