Hypervisors typically allow for either Thick or Thin Provisioning. Thick provisioning allocate all the drive space at the time the virtual discs are created. While Thin Provisioning will allocate drive space to as needed up to the OVF configured file size.
For example a 3 Terabytes OVF image will use 3 Terabytes of disc space immediately when using Thick Provisioning. If using Thin Provisioning only the amount a space actually needed to install the OVF will be used. For example a 3 Terabytes OVF may only initially use 65 Gigabytes and slowly expand over time as additional space is needed.
The KACE SMA appliance can be provisioned using either Thick or Thin Provisioning. If using Thin Provisioning please allow adequate space for the discs to expand as needed. In reference to the KACE .OVF file sizes, we prevent the option for them to be re-sized as they are designed from an appliance based standpoint verses that of an application. There is also no support for possible effects that may occur if the file is resized. Therefore your two options when installing the .OVF file are either Thick or Thin Provisioning.
