XPEH Posted December 13, 2013 Share #3 Posted December 13, 2013 VMWare server itself doesn't support virtual disks larger than 2TB. Try to create a few smaller virtual disks (2x2TB or 4x1TB) and create your 4TB volume using multiple disks in DSM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technolo-g Posted December 17, 2013 Share #4 Posted December 17, 2013 The maximum supported VMDK size on an VMFS-5 datastore is increased to 62 TB! http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2058287 Which SCSI controller is in your configuration? BusLogic parallel controllers are not supported. You must use the vSphere Web Client for VMDKs with 2TB+. Is your vHDD preallocated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
