I have an ESX 3.5 box connected to an MD1000 (direct attached) and when I go to add the new storage it says "Capacity 4.55TB", "Available 558.99GB". I had just formatted the new device as RAID5 -- don't understand what's going on here.
Is there a limitation I'm not aware of? I saw a VMware document that says the maximum for storage is liek 64TB. It should work fine shouldn't it?
ESX does not support LUN sizes larger than 2 TB - 512 bytes - this is explained in kb 3371739. You will need to carve this storage up appropriately.
Good Luck!
