VCSA 6.5 Size ??

[Super6VCA]

Hello All,

I just finished jumping from Windows vCenter 6 to VCSA 6.5 and have a question about size.  When i did the migration my Windows vCenter had a DB of 130GB.  During the migration i did not take history data so i was thinking that it would shrink the DB size quite a bit.  As it turns out, at this point, my new VCSA is currently at a SIZE of 810GB.  Can this be a true number and is it due to Update manager??  I'm not really happy about that size so is there something i missed or something i need to do about this??  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

In the migration wizard you were asked to select the size of the appliance (small, medium, large, x-large etc.) - which size have you selected?

So should you size it based on what it is currently or should you size for future growth? Since it is an appliance can you can more space later?

yes you can increase space later to vcsa!
