export ovf very slow
dear gurus
i do have 600gb linux box as VMs so i need to export and deploy to another but export is too slow just imagine it taking 12 hours
the method i follow is
export esxi host production to ovf to my pc
from my my pc to deploy ovf anothe esxi host backup
ideally can we increase the speed fine tunning
as vmconverter all other tools not working in my all previous thread it could not resolve
linux partition is not read by converter
regards
tmsa

Export time is based on network and storage speeds.

so any thing can be done to boost
or say esxi paid to esxi free can we take full vms any tool utility or fastest way
say host to host or backend ssh way
any tips guideline

kindly confirm during deploy process
which to be taken can work faster way below, like
1) think provision lazy zero
2) thick provision eager zero
3) thin provision zero
Select the disk format (Thick or Thin) you want the new VM to use.
What does Lazy Zeroed and Eager Zeroed Mean?
Data on disks is stored as a 1 (one) or a 0 (zero), so if all the blocks on the disk are set to zero, when you put data on the disk, it only has half the work to do (i.e. write the ones). Eager Zeroed, puts zeros on all the blocks on the disks straight away, Lazy Zeroed puts all zeroes in a block the first time the block is read.
