Nutanix storage container configuration guidance specifies that “Advertised Capacity” is the setting used to define a maximum limit for the container. This value enforces a hard cap on space usage. Reserved Capacity, in contrast, defines a minimum guarantee of space for the container and does not limit growth.

Prism Element is the correct interface for creating storage containers with specific data reduction settings such as compression and deduplication, as the container-level storage policies are applied directly at the cluster’s storage layer.

The documentation further clarifies that RF1, inline compression, and deduplication settings are configured within Prism Element under container creation. Therefore, to enforce the 100 GiB limit, the administrator must create the container in Prism Element and set the Advertised Capacity to 100 GiB.
