This is one of various VUM Updates feature available in new version and VUM will recognize the vendor type and validate compliance and update. Currently Dell HBA330 only supported and soon other controllers will come up with their update on this.
This feature is a single wizard that allows you to select the required services, add the hosts and configure the cluster. You can include configuration of HA, DRS, vSAN and the network components needed to leverage these services.
As you know, VMware UNMAP is a command that allows a way to reclaim space from blocks that have already been written to after data that previously resided on those data blocks has been deleted. And now this feature is available with vSAN , vSAN 6.7 U1 is capable of unmapping blocks when the Guest OS sends an unmap command and it will enhance space efficiency.
If your environments has large files deleted you can enable this feature and the VMs need to be power cycled to apply the unmap setting. Now you will be thinking why power cycle required it is because of during power cycle operation Guest OS actually queries for the unmap capability and as of now there no other option for VMware to force.
