I currently have a ticket in for this but I thought I'd post as well and see if anyone has run into a similar issue.
I have both linked clone pools and persistent desktop view horizon vm's. Storage vMotion for these is slow no matter which storage I am using (we have FC and NFS). A 40gb machine will take upwards of 30 minutes to an hour to move from one datastore to another that thats, FC storage to FC storage, NFS to NFS, or FC to NFS, or NFS to FC. We do not see this same issue on the same storage on our production cluster server side. A 1tb server will take around the same amount of time but anything in the 100'sgb range is within 5 minutes.
Our hardware is all unified computing Cisco UCS blades and all the configurations appear to be matching across the board. I'm wondering if there's anything specific to view that causes storage vmotion to be slower on average and it's something I will just have to accept or if there's a setting I need to look at or settings to compare between the two that I haven't maybe thought of?
Thanks,
