I would probably not use the whole disk space for the virtual disk, but leave at least 10% free. You also need to make sure the datastore where the virtual machine's base folder resides (the folder which includes the vmx file) has the appropriate block size too!

Regarding thick or thin provisioning. It does not make a huge difference in disk performance whether the disk is thin or thick provisioned, except you choose eagerzeroedthick by checking "Support clustering features such as Fault Tolerance" in the create virtual disk wizard. Since you mentioned this LUN is for this one VM only, I would prefer thick or eagerzeroedthick rather than thin.

BTW...I'm using vCenter for all this setup including wizards I have mentioned, etc...

At the moment I can't think of a wizard in vCenter which askes on which host a LUN should be presented!? Can you please clarify this and/or attach a screen shot please.

André.
