I just ran into the Datat ONTAP 8.x 16TB LUN limit within my own environment and thought I'd start a thread to discuss how customers are handling requirements for LUNs greater then 16TB in size? As NetApp has indicated that LUNs greater then 16TB will not be supported in the near future I ask what are my alternatives. I am limited to using Windows has my host OS and am also limited due to snapdrive not supporting backups of dynamic disks. I'm guessing I'll end up having to write a script to snapshot a consistency group.
In my mind it makes no sense that I can do all of the following but create a 16TB+ LUN
Aggregate 100TB Size Limit (6280)
Volume 100TB Size Limit
