Guest OS unmap support in VMWare

Here’s what you need to support Guest OS unmap with Windows and VMWare:

  • At least Server 2012 with hotfix KB2878635
    • newer version support natively
    • on older versions use sdelete from Mark Russinovich
  • At least hardware compatibility version 11
  • VMFS 6 volume
    • VMFS 5.5 can support it with more hoops
