Storage reservation based on used space, not on provisioned space

$

Hey,

 

was wondering why vRA reservation considers provisioned space and not used space.

The same with vRBusiness.

 

maybe its only me, but i don't care about provisioned space i want to charge for used and cost for used space only

 

coming across issues with provisioned space as well

 

in a test we provisioned machines and storage reservation was near limit.

a user created a snapshot on his machine (in vRA action on vm). request comes back as successful but snapshot is never created because it doesn't fit into the reservation (example: machine with 700GB prov and 350GB wen to 1000GB provisioned  when you would create a snapshot)

sad thing is no errors, not user notification. user will never know that the all-important snapshot does not exist

 

is there any way to change the behaviour to count only used storage? it would also help with cost comparison. my cloud will never be cheaper than AWS in comparison. But if I consider only used space (which I pay) vs provisioned space in AWS (which I pay), my own datacenter wins ...

Couldn't find anything to this, it feels like noone else is concerned with this?! Am I on my own?
