Slow local file transfer (copy) on ESX vmware server?
- by Sorin Sbarnea
I have a 8 CPU VmWare ESX server (3.5) with 4 HDD drives in RAID that is not loaded at all. I enabled SSH and installed mc (midnight commander) in order to be able to copy(clone) virtual machines but I observed that if does copy the files very slow - around 3.5mb/s on local drive.
Why is this happening and how should I solve the issue?
