This is an VMWare ESX limitation not the EMC Vnx. ESX lower than 5 will not support greater than 2tb luns even on Fibre Channel or direct attached disks. You should be able to present a greater than 2tb lun to a windows server without any issues. I have a VNX 5700 that presents a 20tb lun to a Windows 2008 R2 server just fine. -Greg

Which is pretty retarded. SCSI-2 was released in 1994 and is long since superseded. They've restructured the entire standard since then.
