Hello! We are using vvols for a specific project and noticed that vCenter shows capacity incorrectly.

It looks like (provisioned space = capacity - free space + uncommitted). We started out with a 1PB datastore and only 200TB of data, but vCenter showed the datastore full. We doubled the size of the datastore and vCenter immediately doubled the used space. Most of the unknown usage shows up as “other” in vCenter. Pure shows the correct usage. We have tickets open with both vendors. VMware is pointing the finger at Pure and Pure at VMware. We really don’t care where the problem lies…just want it fixed. Has anyone else experienced this issue before? Do you have any tips on resolving it?
