You really want to create a 10TB, you meant TB right? LUN! Wow, hope it
never ends up dirty or gets filled and requires a restore.

Have you called Promise yet?

I have a Promise VTrak m500i SAN device with a 12TB RAID volume on it. It
is
connected to my Windows Server 2003 SP2 box via gigabit ethernet. The
VTrak
seems to be working fine, and Windows disk manager "sees" the 12TB. But it
splits the space into 2TB and 10TB chunks. I know that MBR disks are
limited
to 2TB, so I tried to convert the disk to GPT, but it says "the operation
was
cancelled due to an internal error".

Any thoughts from the experts?

TIA for any replies.
