VMware shows inaccurate space compared to storage when using thin provisioning
Applies to
- ONTAP 9.x and above
- VMware ESXi
- THIN provisioned LUNs
Issue
- VMware Datastore shows the correct size and usage but NetApp shows incorrect LUN free space.
- Deleting files or VMs on VMware does not return space to the LUN or volume, and the space shows as full.
