To change a network - It’s just a foot gun drop down, how hard can it be?

story time

In testing the VMware to Vates (V2V) machinery in XCP-ng with Xen Orchestra, I found that the imports were taking longer than I had expected or hoped. In searching the web for others with similar experiences, I found a forum thread where someone highlighted that traffic for the import goes from your ESXi host, through Xen Orchestra, then to your XCP-ng host & relevant Storage Repository. In order to set this process up for success, you’ll want to have maximum performance available for all network paths involved.
