Want thin provision storage when finalizing IVMR with Storage vMotion

Post by Vejete »

Hoping I just took stupid pills this morning ...

I can successfully finalize an IVMR with Storage vMotion, but for the life of me I cannot find any place in Veeam's migrate/finalize options to specify that I want the migrated target storage to be thin provisioned rather than thick provisioned eager zeroed.

Help?

Hi, Jim. There's currently no such option for IVMR finalization in Veeam UI. Thanks!

You can IVMR, then manually use VMware Storage vMotion to achieve this, then halt the IVMR when vmotion finished. We detect this and do not throw the VM away.
