I am moving a HPE 3par 8400 from some VMFS 5 volumes connected to some vSphere 6.7 hosts to vvols.

Right away I ran into capacity errors, even though the storage container looked to be only using 2.8TB or so at the time.

Capacity Efficiency ( from storage containers view )
82% Savings
Savings 12,719.25 GiB
Used 2,856.25 GiB
Usable 15,575.50 GiB
5.9:1 Overall compaction
11.3:1 Dedup ratio
7,182.60 GiB Dedup savings


I created a VV with the fc drive r5 drive type so I could move some workloads to that disk type.

when I do a showsys -space I am seeing a bunch of shared space. and I am wondering why?


when I review documentation I don't see this shared space at all...


see below.

I’m pretty sure that shared capacity in SSD tier is the dedupe store (DDS).
