I’m sure this has been said before. But I really want to know WHEN VMware will support VMDK disk sizes larger than 2TB – 512 bytes.
I have found that this is one of the main reasons people go to using Physical and Virtual RDMs in their environments. But these just make things complicated and nasty.
Datastore sizes have increased to 64TB but where is the love for the lowly VMDK that supports all of our Guest OS VMs?
I’d love to know how many people are having to work around this issue by using RDMs or mounting iSCSI LUNs or NFS mountpoints from within thir VMs. While the monster VM is available via Memory and CPU nowadays what about the Monster Data VM. You know you have at least one.
