I’m not going to go into detail on why changing the way that View provisions and creates linked clones with Composer is a good idea. If you are running on recent hardware with a well designed solution that provides good disk I/O you can benefit from increasing the number of operations Composer will do concurrently.
Wayne over on IT Blood Pressure covered this for View 5.0 in a Feb blog.
There is information on this is the Best Practices Whitepaper and instruction on how to change the setting in View 5.0 and previous versions in KB article 1013760
What’s new is that changing this has become easier with View 5.1 as the setting for pae-SVICreationRampFactor can now be made through the View Administrator GUI
Under View Configuration and Servers, Edit your vCenter Server Settings. If you press Edit on the vCenter Server Settings box that appears you will get the following dialog. Change the last setting to increase the provisioning operations concurrency and speed up certain operations.
Change this in increments, test the effect and only do this if your hardware (and Composer) configuration can cope.
