Reclaim Space

Hello,

I have a current windows VM which used space on Simplivity is  6123.5GB (dsv-balance-manual result)

 

Windows tells me the disks are using 4.26 To, how can i reclaim the 1.9Tb missing ?

I trying to Storage Vmotion but i'm not sure i have the space to do that (i cancel the job when there was only 500Gb left on one node)

Here is the available space (by dsv-balance-manual)

Thanks but the step 2 is for VMFS and not NFS datastores

Yes, I know. If you can check the hivebloat part on SimpliVity (Zeus script), the values it gives you there will be the amount of space you can reclaim using sdelete. You will not perform any operation on the NFS LUN
