lrmd (the local resource manager) won't run more than this
number of resource operations in parallel. It's a mechanism to
prevent placing too much load on the node. As soon as one of the
operation finishes, the next one in the queue is started.

Yes, by setting LRMD_MAX_CHILDREN in /etc/sysconfig/pacemaker in
SUSE distributions (SLES or OpenSUSE). Don't know if init
scripts of other distributions have this option. I think you'll
need the latest Heartbeat (if you're running heartbeat and not
corosync). Note that this is a per-node setting.

Thanks,

Dejan
