How Is the Migration Rate Displayed on the SMS Console Calculated?
Linux File-Level Migration
During a Linux file-level migration, data is not compressed, so the migration rate displayed on the console and the NIC throughput should match.
However, there is an exception. A Linux file-level migration is inefficient when transferring small files. When migrating a large number of small files, the network bandwidth cannot be fully utilized. In such a scenario, the migration rate is far lower than the available network bandwidth.
Linux Block-Level Migration
During a Linux file-level migration, data is not compressed, so the migration rate displayed on the console and the NIC throughput should match.
