Re: Maximum size of guest partition

True no big deal, but the system will not stop you from adding the link for the 17th SCSI device and beyond to the network server description. They won't be usable but you also cannot remove them without deactivating the partition. So keep your counts accurate when your adding them.

I did run into the 16 LUNs per vSCSI connection and had to create more
vSCSI connections. No big deal.

Yes, I did mean disk - poor phrasing of the question on my part. That's pretty much the conclusion I came to in my reading but I had a nagging recollection that there was a maximum - just couldn't recall what it was. Those sizes are nothing like what I need to do, so won't be an issue. On Thu, Jul 25, 2013 at 3:05 PM, DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
