What is the difference between CPU utilization and top numbers.
Had some issues this weekend doing a storage migration from one of my more capable hosts. The CPU utilization as at 7% but it took four hours to move about 150GB VM. and almost another four hours to clone it. My experience in the past was about an hour and a half for each. I call VMware support and the number they pointed me to was the "top" numbers in the CLI. That was running at around 2.5 while my other boxes were running not more (Less capable hosts) than .6.
The host that was running at 2.5 load has four, six core processors with 132GB of RAM. is the load what I should be looking at for utilization.
I am assuming that I should have picked another host run my storage migration on .
