During VM creation  in nutanix ESXI, if we select the thin provisioning and submit the operation once , it shows thick provisioning if we see the disk settings. what will be the issue ?

Best answer by Garet

When creating a new virtual machine through the Prism Web UI, there should not be an option for disk provisioning type as it defaults to thin-provisioned. Accordingly, could you attempt to create the VM using the Prism Web UI, as per the instructions from the following linked documentation, and confirm if the resulting disk is still reported as thick-provisioned?
