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 Yahoo!
