vmware vmdk storage suggestion over 2TB
I'm going to virtualize a file server that currently houses 2.5 TB of data on DAS. I'd like to migrate that data to our SAN but need to figure out how to deal with the 2TB vmdk limit.
I think the best way to handle would be to create a 4TB LUN on the san, attach to the san with the current file server and copy data to the new LUN. Then P2V the server and create a RDM to the LUN. Is this the correct way to handle? Any other suggestions or recommendations? Thanks!
