I am planning to upgrade my datacenter from ESX4.1 to ESXi5, But bit confused whether VMFS3 (after upgrade to vmfs5) will be able to support more than 2 TB.
"Upgraded hosts, which keep the older MSDOS-based partitioning, do not support installing ESXi on a single physical disk or LUN larger than 2TB. To install ESXi on a disk or LUN larger than 2TB, you must do a fresh installation."
Copied from vSphere upgrade guide documentation "vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-511-upgrade-guide".
One other guide state "Once the VMFS-5 volume is in place, the size can be extended to 64TB, even if it is a single extent"
Copied from the guide "VMFS-5_Upgrade_Considerations"
I just want to know, is it feasible "After upgrade to vmfs5 single extent can become more than 2 TB"???
