Unfortunately the source environment is placed in a different site and I
cannot connect a "fast" local domain to it: no internal disks and old blade
system so that no fast USB channel
ALso, in the destination iSCSI I have many VMs running and I cannot it put
it down.
I have to transfer 2 VMs for a total of about 500Gb of storage
