* * * SVC 4.3 introduces a new function called “Space-Efficient Virtual Disks” or SEV. This function is the implementation on SVC of what is commonly referred to as “thin provisioning”. Without SEV, “fully allocated” virtual disks on SVC use physical disk capacity for the entire capacity of a virtual disk. If you create a 500GB virtual disk, SVC allocates 500GB of physical disk capacity in a managed disk group for that virtual disk even if only 100MB of data is written to the virtual disk. This is essentially the same way that traditional disk systems operate. With SEV, SVC allocates and
