- Space guarantee of NFS datastore volume is set as none
- Does not use single file snap restore
Answer
Yes.
- Mount a backup as a cloned datastore and Storage vMotion from cloned datastore to other datastores require additional aggregate space since it works like a new data copy.
- If space guarantee is not enabled for a datastore volume, the capacity required for a new data copy is used from the aggregate hosting that volume.
