ESX can read twoGbMaxExtentFlat VMDK file

Is there anyway you can convert a twoGbMaxExtentFlat VMDK file in to type of VMFS.

We can't read twoGbMaxExtentFlat in our current version of Infrastructure Client.

Hello,

Yes, use vmware converter or use vmkfstools, the format you have is called 2gbsparse.
