I've got a Storage Request of 500GB for an existing ESX servers from Symmetrix DMX Array.

Our standard hyper device size is 17GB, i have prepared 2 META devices which consists of 16 numbers of 17GB (17GB *16=272GB)

Now the MS Admin complains that he wanted a one single Device/ LUN with 500GB in size. In that case i have to prepare a single META device with 32 hypers. With my little knowledge, i don't think it's a best practice.

The existing devices are not presented with the stadandard hyper size.
