Blob image copy considerations¶
MMT uses several parallel sub-routines in copying image blobs, the number of
which is controlled by the --parallel-io-count
parameter, which has a
default value of 4
.
Image blobs are copied only when you are using the copy
storage mode for
your migration, during the Extract and Restore stages of the migration workflow. For optimum
performance, the number of CPU resources to allocate for the MMT container
(--cpus=<value>
) is --parallel-io-count
, plus one for MMT itself.
