We have a large VM (60TB VMDK) that we need to replicate to a second host. We currently get about 100MB/s and it appears that we are hitting the 1GB network limit. I want to increase the bandwidth available for this large replication job by aggregating the traffic across multiple nic's. Is this possible? If so, how?
I've tried the following approach, thinking these operations may rely on the same transfer mechanism, but it didn't make a difference.

The KB is pointing that is Nic Teaming that will actually help when you have lost the active Nic so the stand by will pass your tgraffic .
Now come to your scenario you need to setup the NIOC user profile there you have to dedicate all speed of the Nic to this replication task. You can't aggregate multiple Nic to achieve the combined capacity. we do have concept call LACP and LAG. but that will also give the speed which is independ to the different traffic

thank you for that information.
