what is the difference between "Single VMFS Datastore of 64TB" and a Datastore of 64TB created with extents.
For example.
1 single LUN with 4 TB volume size from storage array can be presented to vpshere 5.
same 4TB can be presented to vsphere4 with spliting it into multiple or 2 LUN with size 2TB - 512MB . and using extend, 2 LUN presented from storage it can be added as a 4TB volume.
The attachment is for vSphere 5..so its clearly mentioned that you can use 64TB volume with vsphere 5 and file size of 2TB-512MB. file size refers to VMDK.
I had a same discussion in forum, but couldnt get the discussion link.. in which they clearly explain about the extend option is no more required to present volume size with more than 2TB-512MB, as it can be presented directly.
