I have been moving some legacy Windows virtual machines from hyper V. I convert the vhdx to qcow2 and import the disc to the dir backup storage.
Here is my config.
Once I have imported the disk and the virtual machine is working okay I want to move the disc to the tosh-thinpool which is SSD. As they are Windows clients the hard disks created by hyper V are usually 127Gb or 256GB although most cases they have less than 20GB of data. When I tried to move the disk using.
qm move 109 scsi0 tosh-thinpool
This process is very slow. For example last night I left it running to move a 256Gb raw file with 100Gb of data. It was still running this morning and in total it took 10 hours.
I have tried moving both qcow2 and raw with same result. The only warning is I get a message warning me that the tosh-thinpool could run out this space. This is because the total of the nominal capacity is greater than 1TB but only 20% of this is used.
The server is dual CPU Fujitsu with LSI raid and battery cache. This must be a problem with my configuration and would appreciate any assistance.
Thanks
