My migration team is doing a good job trying to push as many VM’s through Move to stage reboots after-hours. I’ve noticed that replication slows way down when we have about 15-20 VM’s waiting for cutover.
I have checked the load on the Move VM and increased the amount of CPUs. Replication goes well (25Gbit network), but now we only have 2 seed streams going with 19 waiting to cutover. I have 4 other VM’s that are in the “seeding data” phase, but haven’t started their copies. Is this a bottleneck within the Move postgres database?
Any ideas on how I can get more VM’s copying in parallel?
Thanks,

Move performs up to 16 disks migration in parallel. If it is from the single ESX host, then the limit is 8 disks in parallel.
Hope this helps.
