Short question about the meaning of two options:
In the web interface under Cluster -> Options I have the option "Maximal Workers/bulk-action". From observation this value defines the maximum number of parallel bulk migrations. But in the interface for bulk migrations I have the option "Parallel jobs" but I can't find any docs on whats the difference. Is it still the same as described in this issue: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1236
 
Hi,
yes, what you can set in the GUI as parallel jobs will be passed to the API as maxworkers and overwrite the setting from the /etc/pve/datacenter.cfg. And for HA managed VMs, you'll still face the bug you linked to, i.e. only the setting from /etc/pve/datacenter.cfg is respected there.
