I'm well aware of the issue regarding thin provisioning and oversubscription, but what about the following hypothetical scenario:
- I want to deploy a VMware image, with a thin provision footprint of 20GB
- If I were to deploy this same VMware image using thick provision, it'd be 1 TB
- The datastore I want to use has a capacity of 500 GB
I can't seem to find this so far in ESXi 5.0's documentation. I'm assuming a user could do the above and set alarms to trigger when the datastore capacity was being reached? If this is the case, where in the documentation can I find this?
