comparison different formats virtual disk (Thick Provision Lazy Zeroed, Thick Provision Eager Zeroed, Thin Provision)
Hi,
we are running vSphere 5.5 with a small amount of hosts.
We have used the Thick Provision Lazy Zeroed format for virtual disks.
I think the format has a disadvantage, because if I create a virtual disk with this format and later my VM used e.g. the half of given disk space, it's a waste of datastore space.
Would it not be useful to create virtual disk with Thin Provision format ?
(all our datastores are local)
Kind regards,
Roland
