It is my experience that cloning is already a low priority process that doesn't have much impact on the other virtual machines.<br />
<br />
You do experience an impact, so I guess your resources are already on the limit of your resources. <br />
<br />
Can you give a bit more description of your environment (hosts, storage, ...) and usage? Where do you think the bottleneck lies ? The storage system ?

Thank you all for your quick response.<br />
I'll go for VAAI over NFS with my Nexenta Box.

Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
I'm looking for an option to throttle the VM cloning process. At the moment it takes all available ressources...<br />
<br />
Any idea or hint?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

VMware VM Cloning throttling

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
