5.5 Performance test results
This section talks about a performance comparison between Quick Boot and a regular boot.
Obviously, the time taken to conduct a regular boot depends upon the hardware configuration.
More the PCIe devices present in the system, regular boot takes more time to reboot compared to
Quick Boot where it only does a reload of vmkernel and the subsequent service reboots. Here we
demonstrate the time taken by the hardware configuration (noted in Section 6.1).
Mode of Reboot
Time Taken to complete the boot process
Quick Boot
1min ~38seconds
Regular Boot
