Hi,

Can someone advice me on this?

Can Windows 2003 Enterprise 32bit support GPT disk? I have googled and find 
conflicting results.

This document says no, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc758966.aspx

but this document says yes,

http://www.plasmontech.com/downloads2/pdf/rts_cb018.pdf?bcsi_scan_2229F3D84EB0997D=0&bcsi_scan_filename=rts_cb018.pdf

Windows 2003 server (service pack 1) x86
Windows 2003 server claims support for disk’s greater than 2TB but this can be
misleading since, while the logical volume will show up in Windows disk 
management
tool, it will automatically partition the volume into separate pieces of no 
larger than
2TB, and allow no access to the partitions above address 2^32. In order to use
volumes greater than 2TB, it is necessary to create a GPT partition table for 
the
volume. GPT imposes some restrictions, which are listed below.

So maybe I have misunderstood both articles. Can someone advice me? What my 
client wants to do is to shrink or increase the LUN size on the fly using 
Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1 and only GPT support more than 2TB in a Windows 
OS.

Thanks.

Best Regards,

WY
