We can change this option within the Hyper -V Manager console in " Hyper -V Settings ..; " .


In "Storage Migrations " have the option of "default " comes to the quantity of "2" migration. It can be changed to how many are needed for your use.

Remembering that these migrations use very Disk / Memory / Network  so it has maintained as two simultaneous migrations.

After changing the amount can click " Apply" and "OK" .

In the above article we learn how to change the option to move more than 2 VM's the same time.
