the difference is that with the integrated v2v you don’t use any of that. It’s 
going through the vCenter server which is the major slowdown.
With 10MB/s I do not expect the bottleneck is on our side in any way. After all 
the integrated v2v is writing locally directly to the target prepared volume so 
it’s probably even faster than imageio.

the “new” virt-v2v -o rhv-upload method is not integrated in GUI, but supports 
VDDK and SSH methods of access which both should be faster
you could try to use that, but you’d need to use it on cmdline
https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible-v2v-conversion-host/ might help to use 
it a bit more nicely

Thanks,
