When planning for an upgrade from vSphere4 to vSphere5 what will be the effect of upgrading a
1TB VMFS3 datastore with a 2MB block size to VMFS5?
A.
Thick virtual disks can be expanded to a maximum of 2TB.
B.
Thick virtual disks can be expanded to a maximum of 512GB.
C.
Thin virtual disks can be expanded to a maximum of 512GB.
D.
Thin virtual disks can be expanded to a maximum of 2TB.
When upgrading a datastore it retains its properties. So a datastore with 2MB can only have files with max size of 512GB. The answer should be C (thin virtual disks can be expanded to a maximum of 512GB).
jon – it’s D

why not “A”? Why “Thin”?
I don’t think its A because even though thick disks con grow up to 2 TB, it’s not the case for in here since the Datastore size is 1TB.
