Hi,
We are migrating a small workload of 6 guests currently running on vSphere and Hyper-v, across the internet via a VPN and into a vSphere cluster of two hosts, direct attached storage running Enterprise Plus licensing.
We have tested V2V conversions using the stand alone converter from both a workstation running at the destination side and a server running on the source side.
Both result in consistent conversion speeds of 240-720KB/s, where other activities across the VPN show a very steady 6.5MBps.
- We've disabled SSL on the converter worker process.
- The source and destination are in different subnets, however routing is enabled between them and we've ruled out firewall rules being the cause.
- This got us past an issue where the job was failing at 1-2%, when i understand the source needs direct access to the destination on the management port (902)
- We're using IP addresses and local administrator accounts when setting up the converter job.
We've done quite a bit of research and haven't had much luck in improving speeds.
I'd appreciate if anyone has any pointers which could improve the speeds?
Thanks,
Jason
