Manual space reclamation often required to reclaim pool space at array level. With API SCSI UNMAP releases the blocks back to the free pool. Is used anytime VMFS deletes (svMotion, Delete VM, Delete Snapshot, Delete) VMDK VMFS-5 Extent VMDK Utilization Storage Pool (free blocks) SCSI WRITE - DATA SCSI WRITE - ZERO CREATE FILE DELETE FILE SCSI WRITE - DATA SCSI UNMAP CREATE FILE DELETE FILE

24. 24© Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved. Block VAAI – Thin Provision Stun – vSphere 5 Without API No free blocks in thin pool causes VMs to crash and snapshots to fail. Careful management at VMware and Array level needed. With API Array reports new error message to vCenter On receiving error VMs are “stunned”, giving opportunity to expand the thin pool at the array level.

Storage DRS Operations – IO Thresholds SDRS triggers action on either capacity and/or latency –Capacity stats are constantly gathered by vCenter, default threshold 80%. –I/O load trend is evaluated (default) every 8 hours based on a past day history, default threshold 15ms. Storage DRS will do a cost / benefit analysis! For latency Storage DRS leverages Storage I/O Control functionality. When using EMC FAST VP, use SDRS, but disable I/O metric here. This combination gives you the simplicity benefits of SDRS for automated placement and capacity balancing but adds: Economic and performance benefits of automated tiering across SSD, FC, SAS, SATA 10x (VNX) and 100x (VMAX) higher granularity (sub VMDK)
