Hello All,
I am trying to perform P2V on a couple of my physical machines, however so far I am getting only 6MB/s speed (with SSL disabled) and 3MB/s speed (with SSL enabled by default). The connection is point-to-point, i.e. The source physical machine is connected directly to the ESXi server without any intermediary switch. The connection speed is 1Gbps as both the source and the destination have 1Gb NICs. I have tried many Converter versions (4.3, 5.1, 5.5, 6) but the results are similar. I even powered off all powered-on VMs in the destination ESXi servers. During P2V, the CPU usage, Memory and Disk I/O of both the source and destination ESXi server are normal.
For what it's worth, here are my ESXi server's specs:
IBM x3650 M3, Intel Xeon X5660 @ 2.8Ghz, 32GB RAM, 2TB local datastore (no SAN, NFS, etc)
I have read and heard that there are those who can achieve 30-40 MB/s. Any ideas why my P2V speed is so slow?
