P4500 storage array volume utilization is more that allocated size
P4500 I have allocated 8x500gb volume to 6 x VMware ESX host shared with Thin provisioning enabled network RAID 1+0 (2way), when I see the used summary and volume use tab it shows me different value( more that what allocated)
first volume utilied 520 gb , second 300, third 200gb , rest are not utilized
Is this this a normal opertaion or ?

Re: P4500 storage array volume utilization is more that allocated size
You are using RAID 1+0 (2-way)...
So effectively... you are doubling up on the available storage? 500GB allocated would be 1TB out of the total?
What is your "Provisioned" space value(s)?

Re: P4500 storage array volume utilization is more that allocated size
There are a few things to keep in mind with thin provisioning as well:
1) To get the highest utilization also thin provision your VMFS volumes
2) Be sure to only do "quick" formats within Windows, a "full" will "touch" every block therefore fully provision.
3) don't defrag volumes, this also will negate thin provisioning.
