Is there a way to make the conversion of a physical machine to an ESX server faster? Aside from using Gigbit networks, can i improve my speed by adding more physical cards to the service console switch, or can i somehow create another switch just for conversion and direct the conversion traffic through there?
Other than making the network faster there isn't much you can do.
ive found platespins powerconvert to be faster than convertor as it uses vmnets rather than the service console network
