Azure 8tb on data disks

One of my customers also need this.  Any update from Zerto?

Hi

This is a limitations of MS Azure

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/scalability-targets

max page blob size in 8TB this is used in the replication utilizing Zerto

Regards

Chris

If our C drive is 3 TB and D drive  is 6 TB, would that be 2 page blobs for the VM of 3TB and 6TB and stay under the 8 TB page blob limit?

Hello Danny,
Ben from Zerto support.

You are correct – Azure virtual machine disks are backed by page blobs. The maximum size for each page blob is 8 TiB.
Given that this is not a Zerto limitation, Please refer to Azure documentation and support for more information, for example this article on Understanding block blobs, append blobs, and page blobs

Thank you and have a nice day

Completely understand that the limit is in Azure page blobs. Even with that, how do we handle a disk larger than 8TB? Azure itself supports disks up to 32TB currently, so we need to replicate large disks for DR needs.

My customers system was a Windows file server and he was able to break the then 10TB disk into two disks less than 8TB each.

What about replicating to hpe?  What are the limitations?
