vSphere 6, VVOL and Unmap

$

Hi,

Currently we're testing with vSphere 6, MEM v1.3, VSM 4.5 and PS v8.0.2 on a PS4000E. After a few bumps with the deployment everything is finally running now.

One of the new features we really wanted to test is the unmap option from the guest.

We use alot of Windows 2012R2 vm's and this would be a really nice option. The problem is that the unmap feature is not working.

If we use a traditional VMFS volume we see that the disks are thin provisoned. But after an optimise command the unused space is not realised on the Equallogic.

If we use a VVOL the disk is not even detected as a thin provisioned disk.

We've configured the VMFS3.Blockdelete option in the advanced settings.

Do we need to configure some extra options?

Kind regards,

Patrick
