SCVMM 2008 R2 Convert Physical Machine P2V and Network Considerations

Currently running, but not for long as going to SCVMM 2012, a 2008 R2 SCVMM environment.  We have Virtual Machine Manager installed at our Los Angeles HQ and it manages 4 sites.  Our East Coast Site has a physical machine that we need to perform a P2V to its local HPV Cluster Host but I'm concerned the bits travel over the network between Los Angeles SCVMM system and our East Coast cluster as the P2V occurs.  Its a pretty sizable system so this would be a disaster if this occurred.

I'm hoping that the SCVMM system only issues control commands between the Physical and the Local HPV system and thus the P2V data transfer happens within the local network loop.

Can someone let me know which is the case?

Thanks
