As our teams have not tested HX specifically, I would suggest you to seek support from HX teams. <A href="https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/hyperconverged_systems/HyperFlex_HX_DataPlatformSoftware/HX_TroubleshootingGuide/2-6/b_HyperFlexSystems_TroubleshootingGuide_2_6/b_HyperFlexSystems_TroubleshootingGuide_2_6_chapter_0100.html#id_34366" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #6f53bc;">Cluster Capacity Different Than Provisioned in HX Data Platform Troubleshooting Topics</A> mentioned,</P><BLOCKQUOTE><TABLE border="1"><TBODY><TR><TD> <P><SPAN style="font-family: CiscoSans, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; color: #58585b;">Thick provisioning or Thick clones.</SPAN><SPAN style="color: #58585b; font-family: CiscoSans, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> If thick disks or clones are created, then HX Data Platform does not reserve the space. A soft reservation is used and datastores show space used, but the space is not used in the storage cluster. This is by design to help administrators with not over-provisioning their datastore.</SPAN></P> </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></BLOCKQUOTE><P></P><P>Also, I would suggest to read more about thin provisioning to understand its potentially pitfalls.
