  • 1.  File server on VM with 10TB storage

    Posted Aug 12, 2012 09:00 AM

    Hello,

    We are planning to move our file server to vSphere 5.0 but when I tried to convert Physical server to virtual I got error (currently P2V will not support GPT disks) so I dismounted GPT disk and converted physical server to virtual. When I tried to add new HDD resources to my virtual machine maximum capacity it supports is 2TB!! How can I add more capacity virtual disk?

    thanks, Jebin

    a vmdk can be 2tb max

    so split your data to use vmdk

    or use raw mappings , ie: place the data raw on a 10tb lun
