6.7.0 Update 3 (Build 15160138)
Just got some 8TB Drives attempting to use RDM and my drives show correctly inside the web interface however inside of windows disk management its listed as 1308.4GB. I have some 6TB drives that work fine is there something I need to do for larger drives?
Then I attempted to just setup VMFS6 datastore and I cant seem to get the VM to power on. I've tired every format option thick and thin. Always get this error
Power On VM
Key
haTask-1-vim.VirtualMachine.powerOn-248
