Hi, Thank you, I'm looking forward the results on VMWare's side. If you want some further technical informations about my servers/eth network/san don't hesitate to ask. I will still doing some investigation on my infrastructure. Have a good day. Regards, Nicolas.

Hi, Ok I understand what you mean. I looked on the ESX side, and modified some options on the management card (MTU / Negociation forced) ==> It doesn't affect the transfer. I did a migration of some VMs hosted on this ESX, and I can see the network card using it's full capacities. And if I retry after that a VM conversion, I can see that it won't go higher than 1Gb/s. So I'm still investigating but I'm not sure the problem is from my ESX.

Hi, Thanks for you post. I ran another test : I started two conversion job, 2 Vms from the same Hyper-V Server, stored on the same datastore, converted both to the same ESX server/datastore. Both jobs won't go higher than 650-800Mb/s (around 85MB/s) but the Lan cards of the HV and ESX servers both went up to 2Gb/s. Here we can see my 2 tasks and the network card going at 2.1Gb/s. Here the network card of my ESX, we can also see on the right, a first step at 1Gb/s and 2-3 minutes later a second step going above 2Gb/s. So now i'm not sure, You tell me there is no network limitation on Vmware converter, but the problem isn't on my network either. And I believe you because the software clearly can go higher than 1Gb/s by multitasking. Maybe there is a tweak I missed for the conversion job I start. Do you have any advice how to configure the conversion tasks ?

Hi, I'm currently running some performance tests with Vmware converter for Hyper-V conversion. The converter software is directly installed on my Hyper-V Host running W2012 R2, and the Network Card is an Intel X550-T 10Gbps adapter. My ESXi host is in version 6.5.0 and also equipped with an Intel X550-T 10Gbps adapter. I'm trying to convert a powered off Hyper-v VM stored on my Hyper-V datastore to my Vmware ESXi, and the job never go higher than 800-850 Mbps. I already desactivated the encryption and restarted my converter worker service, and changed the number of data connexions per task, without significant improvement. (see this Kb VMware Knowledge Base ) The job is in block level cloning, and the 2 servers are connected to the same switch, connected at 10Gbps. I checked with windows explorer copies, I can see my network card going around 3.2 Gbps, so normally the converter should go around there also. So, is VMWare converter capped at 1Gbps ? How can I check if there is a "bottleneck" on my network that I missed ? Have a good day. Nicolas.
