The max_targetsoption applies to swinstall and swcopy operations. This option lets you manage hundreds of targets with
a single job by limiting the number of simultaneous targets to a defined
value. As each target completes the install or copy, another target
is selected and started until all targets have been completed. This
keeps the number of active operations at or below the user-defined
limit.
The result of this option is that you can potentially
manage hundreds of targets reliably in a single task. This can also
create a significant reduction in the time it takes to schedule a
task.
Your server and network performance will determine
the optimal setting for this option. The default setting is 25.
