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

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?
