Hi, Customer has 50TB disk (HP) but when configuring the disk pool, only 30TB can be utilized. How can they utilized the whole 50TB if only one disk pool can be configured? OS is Windows 201...

    As per one of your previous posts - only one disk/lun can be used for MSDP.

    Best to remove MSDP pool and start from scratch.
    LUN will need to be recreated on the array so that a single 50TB lun can be presented to the OS.

    OS or raid-level disk config is not documented in any NBU docs.

Just to clarify, a 50tb media server is fine with Windows 2012 standard?

Is there a limit on the size of media server?

 

Thank you so much for answering my inquiries Marianne!
