HCX analyzes migration metrics and provides an estimate of the time required to complete the relocation phase of every configured vMotion, as well as the time required to complete the transfer phase of every RAV migration. For each virtual machine migration, the estimate is shown in the progress bar displayed on both the Migration Tracking and Migration Management pages while the transfer is underway.
VMware HCX 4.2.0 is a minor release that provides new features, UI enhancements, and fixed issues.

Migration Enhancements
Real-time Estimation of vMotion and Replication Assisted vMotion Migration – HCX analyzes migration metrics and provides an estimation of the time required to complete the relocation phase for every configured vMotion, and the time required to complete the transfer phase for every RAV migration. The estimate is shown in the progress bar displayed on the Migration Tracking and Migration Management pages for each virtual machine migration while the transfer is in underway.
Predictive Estimation of Replication Assisted vMotion (RAV) Migrations – For RAV migrations in Draft state, HCX uses machine learning to get an estimate of the time that may be required to complete the migration. The estimate is shown in the progress bar displayed on the Migration Management page. Predictive estimation is available for Early Adoption (EA) with both RAV and Bulk migration.
