To allow host applications to monitor LUN space and perform space reclamation, a SCSI thin provisioned LUN is necessary. Thin provisioning allows the host to see the maximum potential capacity of the LUN while actually consuming only the space that is needed. This also enables the host to reclaim unused space. NetApp specific options (both thick and thin provisioned volumes) are less universally applicable compared to a SCSI thin provisioned LUN, which adheres to a common standard ensuring compatibility for monitoring and space reclamation functionalities.
