VMWare datastore free space doesn't match the LUN information

Hi,

 

This is the background:

 

ESXi 5.5

NetApp Filer

LUN thin provisioned of 700Gb

Datastore thin provisioned of 700Gb

 

The Datastore space reached almost 100% of the space and I'd had to delete a few VM off the datastore and run a few unmap commands on the ESXi server.

 

After the deletion. nothing seems to have changed in terms of free space fromt the vSphere web client and the ESXi SSH session.

 

The output of the dl -h command shows that the datastorage is at 97% of the DS size and you get the same number from the datastorage vSphere view.

 

If I go to System Manager or VSC, the LUN free space is 90%, nonetheless.

 

So, there havent been any change in terms of free storage after the deletion.

 

Could someone tell me where's the space free after the VM machines deletion?

 

Thank you.
