ESXI 4 update 1 connected to iomega ix4-200d working Iscasi

Hi

On iomega device i defined iscasi drive 2.5TB

I could connect the ESXI on the second interface directly to the iomega box and and saw the iomega defined to work as iscasi server ,

When using Vsphere to add a Datastore can see Capacity: 2.5TB BUT Available only 451GB!!

what can i do to get the whole 2.5TB available

Is there any Iscasi limitation anywhere ?

Thanks

There is no limitation for iSCSI as such however the limitation for the VMFS file system is 2TB - 512 bytes, can you try to present a LUN of size 2TB - 512 bytes and tell us what the outcome is ?

You can check the configuration maximums guide from
