 Hi Dave,   Side note, you'll want to upgrade to 7.1.4.  There's an issue in that version and it will restart the CM after 248 days of runtime.   There are some other important fixes since 7.0.1 as well.  Re: Unclaim.  I do understand what you want to accomplish, I wanted to make sure anyone reading it understands what the warning it trying to say.   Some customers will keep expanding the volume size to get below 65% threshold which can lead to over provision.  That KB is the correct way to do the unclaim process.   You have to enable SSH access to a node then at the node root prompt change to the data store you want to reclaim.  [tag:cd] /vmfs/volumes/  The VMKFSTOOLS -y will create a file on that Datastore that's the size of the volume percentage you specify.   So [tag:vmkfstools] -y 10  on a volume that's 100GB will create a 10GB file, then run UNMAP command for those 10GB worth of blocks.  It may not select a block that was already used, but a new one and unmap it..  Therefore,  you may have to run this several times.     You might want to start with 50%.    You want to make sure you don't create a file that's larger than your current free space.  As reported by ESXi, not EQL array.   Regards, 
Several of my volumes on my PS 6100E & X EqualLogic Arrays are reporting the In Use Space Exceeds the Warning Limit. VMWare shows plenty of disk space available on these volumes. I'm aware of some KBs of reclaiming disk space on thin-provisioned arrays but they aren't very intuitive and I'm hesitant to attack the problem without some insight from someone who might have already been through this. Thanks in advance, Dave
