Volume sizes
Windows 2000 supports a maximum file system size of 2 TB
(terabytes.)
Windows 2003 supports a maximum file system size of 2 TB unless
Service Pack 1 or later is installed. With SP1 or later, the maximum
supported physical disk size is 256 TB. Note that volumes larger than
2 TB must use GPT partitions to support them. Refer to your
Windows users guide for information on GPT partitions.
Note: Windows 2003 for x64 servers does not require SP1 or later to create
GPT partitions.
EMC storage arrays provide the ability to expand the size of a LUN
presented to the host server. Refer to your EMC arrays
documentation for procedures on expanding LUN sizes. Windows
has the ability to recognize the extra space on these expanded LUNs
by performing a rescan via the Disk Administrator window.
