Metro node does not report a volume as thin to host initiators until its
thin-enabled option is set to true (enabled). This value can be set to true as part of the creation process as described in
Creating thin-enabled virtual volumes. You can set a virtual volume's
thin-enabled value to true only if it is thin-capable. Use the
set command to change the value of the
thin-enabled attribute to true or false. The value true sets the
thin-enabled attribute to enabled, and the value false sets the
thin-enabled attribute as disabled. After the behavior of the virtual volume is changed, the hosts will need to perform certain actions (for example, a rescan) to detect the changed behavior.
