I have a ML350 G5 running esxi 5.1.
My LAN is 1 Gb / sec.
I have noticed that copying files to/from my NAS occurs at about 5-6MB/sec. Similarly, if I run a speedtest from any of the VMs, I get a downstream of about 40Mb/sec while my connection is 180Mb/sec downstream. Knowing that all the VMs share the single NIC, I shut them all down except one, but the transfer speeds do not increase. This occurs on my Windows 7 VMs and XP VMs. I tried changing the network adapter types, but for the most part, they are running VMXNET 2 or 3.
Any ideas why this is happening or what I should look for?
Thanks.
