Looking for the best scenario to P2V.

I have the following configurations of virtual farm:

Melbourne and Sydney:

-7 x VMware hosts in each site running VMware 4.1.

-1 x data centre in each site consisting of 7 virtual servers.

-2 x without in each site used for the storage of virtual servers.

-1 x vSphere server as a virtual one in the Sydney VMware datacenter.

Melbourne and the Malaysia:

-7 x VMware hosts in LOT of site running VMware 5.1.

-2 hosts of x VMware in the site of MEL running VMware 5.1.

-1 x data centre in each site.

-2 x without in each site used for the storage of virtual servers.

-1 x server as a virtual in the datacentre HURT VMware vSphere.

So my point here is that the new VMware farm, we put in Melbourne a 2 x VMware hosts the site of MEL, but the server vSphere located in the WRONG site.

I intend to do the conversions P2V physical server on the site of MEL and the target will be the new VMware 5.1 farm in Melbourne. I am in the process of test and found that a server below P2V takes about 14 hours:

* HP BL685 G1 server in pregnant C700.

C drive is 136 GB.

D drive is 300 GB.

E-drive is 2150GB.

The conversion rates for each of the drives is:

C drive: 54 min

D drive: 120 min

E drive: 18 hours (actually it always works as I type but ETA is 6 p.m. everything!)

So my question is, with the vSphere server being in another country, Malaysia, where the PING of Melbourne times are approximately 120ms, is why it takes so long to convert a machine?

The data are intended for the physical server directly in managing vNIC on the virtual machine host.  It is not bouncing through the server Vcenter, so I don't think that plays a role in the exercise (or lack thereof).

You can watch this thread.   VMware has added a default SSL Vmware Converter from v5.0 encryption.   Apparently, you can get a speed boost by disabling it if you do not need encryption.  Considering that we usually talk LAN to LAN traffic, I think it's probably safe for most to disable.

Increase the performance of cloning

However, I still had a VM 800 Go several hours, so don't expect this volume from 2 TB to go too fast.
