Hello,
I am looking for some direction regarding provisioning at the VMware level with a De-duplicated LUN on the array level. Currently, we have a de-duplicated thin provisioned LUN on our VNX5200. We will be adding this LUN to VMware as a data store which in turn will be added as additional hard disks to one of our existing VM's to house file shares. I am fairly green in this arena, so my question is: is it recommended to also thin provision on the VMware level and over provision the datastore in order to best realize de-duplicated space at the array level?
Thanks for any direction you can provide!
