VSphere version 5.5. There is still space available for storing lun, but there is no space for allocating virtual machine display

VSphere version 5.5. There is still space available for storing lun, but there is no space for allocating virtual machine display, and most disks are equipped with streamlined devices. The reserve is a little too large. Is it due to the excessive amount of preparation? VSphere 5.5 Thin Reserve (Thin Reserve) is there a maximum allocation ratio, and what is it?

Please rephrase your question.

> There is still space available for storing lun

what does that mean ?

> and most disks are equipped with streamlined devices.

Does this mean most vmdks are thin provisioned ?

> The reserve is a little too large. Is it due to the excessive amount of preparation?

Sorry - no idea what this is supposed to mean.

Are you running out of space on the datastore ?

There is only one solution to that: free up space BEFORE you fill up the datastore.

Anyway - thin provisioning is a nice feature but it comes with a price: YOU MUST MONITOR THE FREE SPACE.

Dont start any VMs on a datastore when the amount of free space is just a few GBs.
