The database server administrator requests a virtual machine with a small system disk and a single data disk that must be 3TB in size. The storage administrator has already created a 3TB LUN. A 500GB VMFS3 datastore already exists.
Which process will the vSphere administrator use to provision the data disk?
A.
No action is required on the VMFS3 Datastore. On that volume, create a virtual compatibility mode RDM mapping to the 3TB LUN.
B.
No action is required on the VMFS3 Datastore. On that volume, create a physical compatibility mode RDM mapping to the 3TB LUN.
C.
Upgrade the VMFS3 Datastore to VMFS5. On that volume, create a physical compatibility mode RDM mapping to the 3TB LUN.
D.
Upgrade the VMFS3 Datastore to VMFS5. On that volume, create a virtual compatibility mode RDM mapping to the 3TB LUN.
It is C because we want to do VMFS 5 for ESXi5 now. Plus a 3TB RDM is over the size for a virtual RDM, which is 2TB. You have to use a physcial RDM for RDMs over 2TB, up to 64TB.
