VMware Certified Professional on vSphere 5 - VCP-550 Exam Practice Test
A Windows Server 2008 virtual machine with the following configuration receives an Out of
Space condition indicator:
The virtual machine uses thin provisioned virtual disks.
The VMFS5 datastore on which the virtual machine's files reside is on a thin provisioned LUN.
30% of the VMFS datastore content is no longer needed.
The storage array supports VASA and VAAI.
Which action should the vSphere administrator take to resolve the Out of Space problem without requesting additional space on the storage array?
