Ryan, I don't believe you can "install on a GPT" with CentOS/RHEL, though GPT is supported. You will most likely have to create at least one virtual disk that is under 2TB where you install the OS. You can then create a larger (>2TB) virtual disk and use GPT on that to be mounted as a data partition.
For a typical server deployment, I find that the basic OS install of CentOS/RHEL easily fits under 2GB. I usually recommend using 4-8GB Virtual Disk for the OS. The rest of the space you can create a 2nd VD and use GPT and your favorite file system to mount where you will have the majority of your data. -Bond JL Bond Consulting > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:linux-poweredge- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Ryan Langseth > Sent: Friday, October 23, 2009 10:16 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Installing CentOS on R710 with GPT > > I have a R710 with 6x1tb disks in a RAID 10 configuration.
