HPE MSA 2060 AND Using unmap command from Windows Server

Hi There

We have couple of HPE MSA 2060 iSCSI which is being used as a backup repository from Windows Server as ReFS Volumes.

Is there a way to clear up space on the MSA from Windows using the unmap commands. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

KInd Regards

Kumar

Looking around it seems that Microsoft does not recommend using ReFS when TRIM/UNMAP are required.  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/refs/refs-overview

Everything I found indicated that UNMAP commands would not work on ReFS volumes.
