Thin Provision on Esxi 4 and ESXi 5 with Thin Provisioning on P6500

I wanted to check on recommendation on using Thin Provisioning on both ESXI (Server) and P6500 (San) simultaneously.

 

 We want to enable Thin Provision on ESX 4i and ESX 5i.

 

 Also we want to use P6500 Thin Provisioning support on the Vdisk.

 

Thanks,

 

Vivek

How big of a disk are you planning on creating?

 

Do you expect to use Business Copy or Continuous Access with regards to those disks you want to TP?
