Object space reservation a.k.a thick provisioning in VSAN (eager or lazy)

[RanjnaAggarwal]

In vSAN object space reservation i think disk type is thick lazy zeroed. Anyone who knows what exactly this type is

[depping · Accepted solution]

it is still a thin disk, only difference is that we reserve the space, so we take it out of the available disk capacity pool. Format of the disk does not change.

Thanks for the reply!!!!!

I am clear with your point in VM edit settings it will still show THIN, but i believe it's behavior is like thick (reserve the blocks from the storage)

Good morning, in spirit I believe you could look at vSAN thin as the traditional thick with lazy zero.  Thank you, Zach.

Yeah, i was assuming same, as it is just space reservation.
