Thin Provisioning doesn´t work with Full Rebuild VPLEX VS2 5.2

Hi guys,

Recently, we got VPLEX METRO VS2 5.2 with 2 engines per CPD in order to migrate our actually VMWare infraestructure to new ESXi Host connected to VPLEX SAN. Our idea was migrating our actually Datastores provisioned by 2 Hitachi VSP to new ESXi with VPLEX.

Before this, we did a POC and everything was fine, any problems with VPLEX and data... But now (We are migrating to VPLEX) we had the next problem with our Datastores: Hitachi VSP use "thin provisioning" with existing VMware LUNS, so we claim this volumes in VPLEX with the option "Thin  provisioning". It makes the first rebuild and... in Hitachi VSP show 100% allocation in the mirror volume (We prove with empty volumes and used volumes....) when it should be 0% used...

Any comments? The only difference with the POC was that VPLEX was VS2 5.1 Update 4... We are a in a Little hurry....

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

Sergio
