In Data Protector 9.05 there has been a new omnirc variable which controls the maximum number of Virtual Machine Disk Agent objects that are started concurrently.
# OB2_VEAGENT_DISK_CONCURRENCY=<vm disk concurrency> # Default: 10 # This setting is used to calculate a safe number of disk threads to be started # in parallel. This is the total number of disks that can be run in parallel at any # given time. The disks selected are from any of the running VM threads. # Number of disk threads = VM disk concurrency - 10% (but at least one thread) # Each of the disk thread creates the connection to the vCenter apart from the running # VM thread. Also take into account that each vSphere Client opens a connection too.
Set this parameter in the omnirc file on the backup host to achieve the desired results.
