hi all, any idea what's the typical speed for copying offline vm files from esxi4.1 host server to network share drive?
for example, esxi4.1 host server got 2 nic cards, so i directly connect esxi4.1 to a low-end NAS via cross-cable with 1Gbps speed on a dedicated nic card, & mount the NAS share drive as datastore2, then using command
cp –r /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/server1 /vmfs/volumes/datastore2/backup/
on esxi4.1 console to copy the offline vm files as backup, however the speed just about 300MB/min
from calculation it's much slower than the 1Gbps, understand that can't be fully utilized the 1Gbps speed la....
wondering how do you backup offline vm files & what's the typical speed? many thx!
