An administrator has just archived 50 percent of a file share's data to tape. The administrator then proceeds to clear the unused space so that it is available for use by the server and array. On the

Thin provisioning is the initial process of allocating storage capacity to a server or application on an as-needed basis, not the act of reclaiming space later.

VLAN configuration involves segmenting a network at Layer 2 and has no direct relevance to storage space management on an array.

Thin reclamation is the process of recovering storage space that was previously allocated to a thin-provisioned LUN but is no longer being used. When data is deleted or moved (like archiving), the storage array can reclaim these freed blocks, making them available for other LUNs or volumes.

VSAN configuration refers to Virtual Storage Area Network, which logically segments a Fibre Channel SAN, and is unrelated to reclaiming storage space from a LUN.
