Hi all, I'm hoping someone could provide some insight or perhaps an explanation as to what is going on:
I am running into an interesting issue with a VM with 3x thin provisioned 2TB vmdk's. In the attached word document, is a screenshot.
What I'm seeing on within the Windows Server 2012 is 2 disks: 1 with 6TB of disk allocated and 1 with 4TB of disk. How could this be possible? The math doesn't add up + the disk count doesn't match either. I don't see any indication of disk-spanning so I'm not sure how the 4TB and 6TB disk is being provisioned.
The issue is we are running Veeam B&R and we want to split the backup jobs up by disk -- since we want to enable encryption of the 6TB volume and no encryption on the 4TB. How Veeam splits them up is by SCSI DISK 0:0, 0:1, 0:2 etc. so we need to find out for certain which disk is assigned to each volume on the Windows Server.
Environment:
2-host ESXi 5.5.0, build 3248547
Direct attach SAS storage to PowerVault MD3220
VM in question is a Windows Server 2012 R2 file server. Bitlocker enabled on 1 disk
