Activating Thin Provisioning for a Volume that is currently in use

[ITExpert]

Hello everyone,

I would like to switch a volume that is currently in use to thin provisioning. Can I make the switch during operation? I can at least select the function under Edit Volume.

It's non-disruptive to convert.   Here is the relevant KB.
