Converting from Console is 2x faster than using CLI
Posted: Tue Nov 11, 2025 10:46 am
Hi!
I'v been testing Hyper-V to ESXi VM/disk migration. What I noticed is that when I use the CLI (V2V_ConverterConsole.exe), network transfer speed is about 0.5Gbps. When I do the exact same migration job with Console (V2V_Converter.exe), network transfer speed is around 1Gbps. I tried everyway around and get the same results. Why is this? Can anyone else duplicate this issue?
Unrelated, but when I tried the VMware Converter, it also gave me only 0.5Gbps, until I disabled the SSL encryption. The I got around 1Gbps.
Also a feature request: It would be great, when converting a multi disk VM, the disks conversions would go parallel rather than serial.
Great product btw.
