Thin provisioning

In Virtual I/O Server Version 2.2.0.11, Fix Pack 24, Service Pack 1, or later, a client virtual-SCSI device can be thin-provisioned for better storage space utilization. In a thin-provisioned device, the used storage space might be greater than the actual used storage space. If the blocks of storage space in a thin-provisioned device are unused, the device is not entirely backed up by physical storage space. With thin-provisioning, the storage capacity of the storage pool can be exceeded.
