Solved Largest Local Storage Pool Viable with Hyper-V
-
Looking at someone that wants to build a mammoth VM that needs to consumer roughly 64TB of local storage (hardware RAID presenting it as a single pool.) Will Hyper-V play nicely with that? Any caveats to look out for? Windows workload on top.

Okay, looks like VHDX will do 64TB in 2012 R2 as well.

I know that VHDX in 2016 will go to 64TB. Anyone know on 2012 R2?

Wow! Backups - damn just wow.

@scottalanmiller I not quite at that max but pretty close at 56TB in a single volume local storage. Running Win 2012 R2 VM on Hyper-V 2012 R2 hypervisor. So far so good (2 yrs now). No issues other than that initial backup was a real b1tch but now that it's incremental, it's all good. No other caveats that I'm aware of.
