To change the resource limits for VMware resource types

1. On the left, click VMware, then click the Virtual machines tab.
2. On the right, select VMware settings > Resource limits.
3. Select the VMware resource type you want to change and then Edit.
4. For Limits, use the up or down arrows to choose the number of simultaneous backups that can be performed for the resource type. This value is the Global limit.

   You can also specify a limit for specific resources, such as a vCenter. Click + Add, then select the resource and choose the number of simultaneous backups that can be performed for the resource.

   Note:

   The Snapshot resource limit is different from the other resource types. It sets a limit for the number of simultaneous snapshot-only operations within a vCenter domain, such as create snapshot and delete snapshot. This limit applies only during the snapshot creation and snapshot deletion phases of a backup. It does not control the number of simultaneous backup jobs. This Snapshot limit can be useful for controlling the effect that multiple snapshot operations have on the vCenter server. Add a specific vCenter to override the global snapshot setting for that vCenter.

5. Click Save.

   NetBackup displays the updated VMware resource limits. Limit indicates the number of simultaneous backups that can be performed for the resource type. For a resource type, this value is the Global limit. For a specific resource, this value applies only to the resource. Override indicates how many resources have limits that are different from the Global limit.

6. Use Reset default values to remove all of the overrides and set all global VMware resource limit settings to their default values.
