VMware vStorage thin-provisioning is a component of vStorage that enables over-allocation of storage capacity for increased storage utilization, enhanced application uptime and simplified storage capacity management.

When migrating or recovering the virtual machines in a VPG, the virtual machines are migrated or recovered with the same configuration as the protected machines. Thus, if a virtual machine in a VPG is configured with thin provisioning, then during migration or recovery the machine is also defined in the recovery site as thin provisioned.
