Guest OS Space reclamation

Hi Guys

I am testing the new guest OS space reclamation in horizon 5.2

Here is my setup

esxi 5.1  U1

Vcenter 5.1

Compellant array that supports unmap

Linked clone pool , created from new image that was built with version 9 hardware

At the end of the pool options , reclaim guest OS is ticked and set to 1gb with no blackout period

Here is my test  :

Logged into a vdi vm, copied 3 files to desktop that had a total of 9 GB. Checked my VC storage and compellant view and both had increased appropriately.

Then i deleted the files and ran vdmadmin.exe -M -d View -m vdi1 -markForSpaceReclamation  and this seems to be accepted but nothing happens ??

I dont get the space back in VC or on the compellant view so something is not working.

When i go into view admin and select a desktop I dont see any fields for "space reclamation etc"  . Space reclamation is selected for VC

What am i missing???

Thanks in advance
