2TB VM BIOS

[ane]

Hello

I have some question that dont find a solution in any threat.

I am trying to install a w2016 vm to host a fileserver with 1.5tb of data. I have give in the vm setup a 2.5tb disk space but when I create it with BIOS, it only shows 2tb of data and MBR disk. If I create it with UEFI, it shows the 2.5tb and and GTP partition.

What do you recomend me? I would like to setup a HA servers so I dont want so have any problem with the UEFI data when migrating to the other server if the main one fails.

Thanks

you can setup a small disk for install windows2016 , and a big disk for data.

Hi! thanks for the answer.

Therefore, how it will work for backups and host migration. I made dayly backup using acronis in the guest. So i suppose that I will have to backup a disk partition. But how will I have to manage the vm migration to another host?

Thanks

backup and migration are for guest and include all disk . it not only for a disk partition.
so you can setup more disk partition.
