I can only say that the issue still exist on 7.0.3i - build 20842708. When I'm trying to migrate out VM that have 10TB disks (with thin provisioning and with policy for vSAN that "utilize" 4x space - site mirroring stretched cluster + FTT 1 - RAID-1 (Mirroring)), so if on the VM on all disk total used space is 5TB - on vSAN it reflect to 20TB used space - because of that policy).  So now when I'm trying to move that VM to LUN on SAN datastore with 15TB capacity - migration will not even start since it shows that 15TB is less than required, and it need to be 20TB+ LUN on SAN. However, after migration - VM will utilize 5TB (while keeping thin provisioning). So - is there any other solution to avoid that problem than change VM policy to not redundancy at all? 

I need to dig that post out. How to set with powercli this toogle switch from GUI "Configure per disk" - since setting both (for VM Home, and Disks) is ok, but newly added disk will not have this policy.

Yup, I've already tried that. My situation is described here (kb adviced by VMWare Support): https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/89606 It is a step in right direction however… I’ve copied first package which was missing: Stat file, file missing. filename=/opt/vmware/var/lib/vami/update/data/package-pool/package-pool/audit-2.8.5-19.ph3.x86_64.rpm   So i’ve revert snapshot, copied file to location from KB article, but next run was failed with another missing file: Stat file, file missing. filename=/opt/vmware/var/lib/vami/update/data/package-pool/package-pool/bash-4.4.18-3.ph3.x86_64.rpm   So, I’ve just check how mnay files are on cd, and how many are in /opt…. Update folder, but here it seems all files are there – and they are, I’ve checked root@vrslcm [ ~ ]# ls /opt/vmware/var/lib/vami/update/data/package-pool/package-pool/ | wc -l 56 But I did check if the file is really missing, and it is not, file is there. root@vrslcm [ ~ ]# ls -al /opt/vmware/var/lib/vami/update/data/package-pool/package-pool/bash-4.4.18-3.ph3.x86_64.rpm -r-------- 1 root root 1038794 Oct 23 22:04 /opt/vmware/var/lib/vami/update/data/package-pool/package-pool/bash-4.4.18-3.ph3.x86_64.rpm But I didn’t give up yet, and I was able to copy  those two packages (audit, and bash), and.. it turns out, that it doesnt help at all, since surpisingly, there was another missing package: 23/10/2022 22:34:14 [INFO] Using update pre-install script 23/10/2022 22:34:14 [DEBUG] Writing to file: pre_install 23/10/2022 22:34:14 [DEBUG] Running CheckPackageSet 23/10/2022 22:34:14 [DEBUG] Stat file, file exists. filename=/opt/vmware/var/lib/vami/update/data/package-pool/package-pool/audit-2.8.5-19.ph3.x86_64.rpm 23/10/2022 22:34:14 [DEBUG] Stat file, file exists. filename=/opt/vmware/var/lib/vami/update/data/package-pool/package-pool/bash-4.4.18-3.ph3.x86_64.rpm 23/10/2022 22:34:14 [DEBUG] Stat file, file missing. filename=/opt/vmware/var/lib/vami/update/data/package-pool/package-pool/bindutils-9.16.33-1.ph3.x86_64.rpm 23/10/2022 22:34:14 [DEBUG] Download Cache Miss: /package-pool/bindutils-9.16.33-1.ph3.x86_64.rpm 23/10/2022 22:34:14 [ERROR] Unable to install updates because package files are missing.

So, what is wrong there? Since for me it looks like the update script is poorly writen, or it has some bugs and errors. Is there any command line tool to force that update? From the logs it looks like i have 2 seconds to fit in and copy all missing packages, which is just crazy. There is no way to copy all those packeges BEFORE upgrade process will start – because it thorws an error also.
