Post subject: | Used User Size (% Virtual) 95-100% On StoreServ |
I am currently experiencing what looks to be full VV's on the 3PAR StoreServ side. The "Used User Size (% Full)" is displaying as 95-100% for multiple VV's but this does not seem to be causing an issue with my vmWare environment. I am not sure what to do in order to resolve this issue. I will say that this environment is Thin/Thin provisioned I am not sure if this will factor in to our current situation. We have begun a discussion regarding possible changes to this but no action taken yet. Any guidance or assistance is greatly appreciated. |

If you have VMFS6, thin on thin is good. If you have VMFS5, your disks are full because Vmware is a lazy bastard that never cleans up. Run unmap on the drives and wait. And a big suggestion is to use Eager Zero Thick in Vmware to help 3PAR reclaim unused spaced by making Vmware write some zeros. |

Thank you for the info. I will run through this process on my current datastores and also look into updating all VMFS 5 to VMFS 6. |
