To change the bwlimit you need to use the pvesm command and specify the limit for the desired category.

For example to increase the bwlimit for migrations:

pvesm set $NAME_OF_STORAGE --bwlimit migration=$INTEGER_LIMIT
# example
pvesm set ssd --bwlimit migration=500000

These are the different categories:

  • default
  • clone
  • migration
  • move
  • restore
