I tried to search for maximum values but can't find one for PTR blocks value in VMFS 6
Any thoughts?
Not sure about maximums but doc says this at lest
When formatting a VMFS-6 volume, the number of system resources (e.g. pointer blocks, sub-blocks,
file descriptors) is set to (RESOURCE_PER_TB_FOR_VMFS5 * VOL_SIZE_IN_TB). If this value turns
out to be less than 16384, 16384 resources are automatically created. The reasoning behind this is to
initially create enough resources to avoid frequent resource file extensions. If this value turns out to be
greater than 16384, we cap the initial number of resources to 16384. The reason is to cap the initial
resources is to save on the disk space used by these resources. But of course for larger volumes, we
will extend the system resources are needed.
Hi Sateesh_vCloud
This are the Maximums:
Item Maximum
File size (1MB block size) 256GB
File size (2MB block size) 512GB
File size (4MB block size) 1TB
File size (8MB block size) 2TB minus 512B
Best regards,
Marco
