Hi,
If I understand correctly, as of VCenter v5.5 VMWARE VMDK files size limit grow
to 64 TB, but TDP for VMWARE has a 2 TB limit. Do you know when TDP for VMWARE
will support bigger than 2 TB VMDK file size ? Because as of now we have
several. I asked VMWARE admins if they can give less than 2 TB VMDK files and
later concatenate them as a Dynamic disks inside the Windows, they say more
VMDK files will increase hypervisor load, is it true ?
Restriction:
Each individual VMDK involved in a backup operation
cannot exceed 2 TB. If a VMDK exceeds 2 TB, the backup
operation fails. To prevent a failure, you can skip
processing the VMDK by specifying the vmskipmaxvmdks yes
in the Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client
options file or during the dsmc invocation.
So the workaround for this would be setting the option VMSKIPMAXVMDKS to
YES.
Caution must be used with this option.
With this option set, the client will not fail the backup of any
virtual machine that has disk greater than 2TB, but will
continue the backup, skipping the disk that is over the Tivoli
Storage Manager supported maximum size of 2TB.

AUTOMATICALLY EXCLUDED INDEPENDENT OR PRDM DISKS
