@DustinB3403 said in Oracle Linux Installation and performance seems insanely bad:

@Obsolesce CentOS as a product is dead, the alternatives are RHEL or CentOS Stream.

CentOS Stream is a totally different thing. Not what people consider alternatives. It is an alternative in the same way that Ubuntu or Windows is.

The real alternatives that are drop in replacements that work exactly the same and cost the same are Oracle Linux, AlamLinux and Rocky Linux.

NVM, forgot about VMware Remote Console (VMRC), which is the optimized way of connection to VM GUI console, download it now.

I think vsphere C# client currently is VMRC in some minimal way. At least one is still actively developed. (You cant connect to an .iso file using webclient flex without uploading the whole .iso file to the host, however with the older C# client and newer method VMRC this can be still done).

That said, we lost the export to .ova or .ovf easier method compared to web ui export which gives you the .vmdk file as is.

I definitely haven't had a cap while downloading updates, I'm pegging my 100 mb down pipe.

Right, but then the sad thing is why was the download taking so long if I was only seeing the backup running.. F'n windows update process.....

yep.. the process lies about what's going on.. I think there must be some type of post download processing going on, but it's still listed at downloading, but the network speed shows no download happening.
