Guys,
i'm moving some 1,7 TB thin disks (basically empty as i have just created them) between NFS datastores (on the same NetApp box) and sVmotion takes ages (approx 1 hour).
Is it normal ? as i'm assuming the thin empty disks should be moved faster than this while even VAAI is enabled.
Any guess ?
Thanks, Daniele
are the disks formatted thick or thin?
HI Daniele..
Storage vMotion is not offloaded to the NetApp array when using NFS... See more details here: NetApp Knowledgebase - What VAAI configurations are supported on Data ONTAP storage controllers?
Why it takes a hour seems wierd, though...
