Snapshots and growth
I have a question about snapshot growth and retention. Last week we had 14 days worth of snapshots and due to some storage growth, we changed this to 7 days worth of snapshots. Before the change was made snapshots were taking up about 21 TB of space, after the change that number is around 10 TB. This reduction of space was more than expected. We expected around a 5 TB reduction. We just added up days 8-14 to get the 5 number. The other 6 TB reduction came from the most recent snapshot which at the time was 11 TB in size and now its down to around 5 TB in size. Does anybody know why the most current snapshot also had a large reduction after making this change? We are trying to figure out future growth including snapshot growth.

There are some great improvements for VMware and Pure. The top enhancement is the ability to use nconnect to an NFS datastore on FlashArray and the ability to vmkNic binding. We are still in the process of creating a KB for this. But reach out if you are interested in learning more.
