    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi Guys, &lt;BR /&gt;I know this is already online &lt;/P&gt;&lt;OL style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN class="_oDd" data-hveid="31" style="padding-bottom: 20px;"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="_Tgc" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The maximum supported VMDK size on an VMFS-5 datastore is increased to &lt;STRONG&gt;62 TB&lt;/STRONG&gt;. However, the maximum supported VMDK size on VMFS-3 is still 2 TB. The maximum supported size of a VMDK on NFS is the lesser of &lt;STRONG&gt;62 TB&lt;/STRONG&gt; and 1% less than the maximum file size supported by the NFS filesystem.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;&lt;P&gt;However in my vSphere client i'm getting different information is there someone who can confirm 1000% what is the case. I'm using &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;VMware ESXi 5.5.0 build-1746018&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;VMware ESXi 5.5.0 Update 1&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any info is greatly appreciated!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="Capture.PNG"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/57190iBDA213F51BF4C9C9/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Capture.PNG" alt="Capture.PNG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;It is expected. Even though 5.5 supports max VMDK size 62TB, VI client will continue to show it as 2TB as all new features from 5.5 are supported in Web client. If you check the same from web client, it will definitely show 62TB VMDK as max size. If you want to create VMDK size more than 2TB, you will have to use web client. All features upto 5.1 are fully supported on VI client.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
