Vmware Converter Standalone 6.2 capped at 1Gb/s ?

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.
