Hi Thanks for this have reverted it back to .85, does this mean that this value pool.storage.capacity.disablethreshold is factoring in the overprovisioning value? Is there a way to allow pool.storage.allocated.capacity.disablethreshold utilise the overprovisining factor and stop blocking VM

VMWare storage overprovisioning

2013-10-23 Thread Noel King
Hi I am seeing an issue here with Cloudstack and VMWare storage and hope you can help. VMWare is using dynamic storage so for a template of 20GB in reality only 3GB is being used, VMWare currently has the size of the VM of 3GB and increases storage allocation to the VM as it requires it.

Advise you to not keep pool.storage.capacity.disablethreshold as 1 (100%). This captures the actual usage of the storage and you do not want it to reach 100% especially possible when you have over provisioned. On 23/10/13 1:14 PM, Noel King noelk...@gmail.com wrote: Hi I am seeing an issue here
