ESXI 5.1 s with 3x3tb drives and WHS 2011

Hi all.

 

I've spent the last 3 hours trying to figure this out to no avail.

 

I've got a N40L microserver running 16gb of ram with 1x 250gb hdd and 3x3tb HDD's on standard ESXI 5.1.

 

I've installed VMTools.

 

I am trying to load the hard drives into the VM and from what I can tell, using a RDM would be the best way of going about it. However, I seem to be having an issue in getting Windows to see them.

 

It comes up with a 100mb drive in disk manager in WHS 2011.

 

I've followed this guide:

Reading about, it would seem RDM's are limited to 2TB but some people have created a 6TB VKDM (though it doesn't specify if they were using Windows).

 

Someone fixed it here:

However, if I use a VML it states its not a physicla disk.

 

Anyone got any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

James
