Applies to
- NetApp NFS plug-in for VMware VAAI
- ONTAP ISCSI datastore
- ONTAP NFS datastore
- VMware Virtual Machine (VM)
Issue
- Creating a VM on the NFS datastore with a thick VMDK works without issues
- This confirms that the NFS plug-in for VAAI is working
- All requirements for the NFS plug-in for VAAI are confirmed
- Once a VM is migrated from the ISCSI datastore to the NFS datastore, the VM can only be thin (NFS default)
- After the migration, the VM cannot be converted to thick
- The issue stays with the VM, and not the datastore as new thick VM's can be created
