ESXi 6.7 management vmkernel transfer speed is very slow

Hello,

 

My question is that import/export via vSphere client or upload/download via SFTP from ESXi to my PC is very slow !!!

Management vmkernel based on 1Gbps uplink, the transfer speed is only about avg. 10Mbps.

Management vmkernel based on 10Gbps uplink, the transfer speed is only about avg. 50Mbps.

 

Would you please tell me how to solve this issue to speed it up ?

Thanks for your reply.

What are you trying to download/upload and why?

Have you tried using SCP?

Hey, hope you are doing fine:

Hey hope you are doing fine:

Are both 1GBPs and 10GBPs interfaces on the same network?
Is your computer on the same management network? are you connecting remotely? If this is the case, which is the link speed?

Isn't this because of the Provisioning netstack that throttles the performance on mgmt vmkernels? Do you have NIOC enabled for example?
