+----------------------+--------------+----------+-------------+------------+
| Name                 | Logical Name | Capacity | Pool        | ONTAP Name |
+----------------------+--------------+----------+-------------+------------+
| lgabor_cl1-01_4.vmdk | -            | 1 TB     | Datastore 2 | -          |
| lgabor_cl1-01_5.vmdk | -            | 1 TB     | Datastore 2 | -          |
+----------------------+--------------+----------+-------------+------------+
 
 
 
 
  • When the disk is not detached correctly, the changes won`t get properly updated in the Deploy utility and capacity will not be reclaimed:
