Now I know why the original poster of thread is so pissed. READ PAGES 1-4 before commenting.
This has NOTHING TO DO with a 2TB limit and has EVERYTHING to do with a DRIVER limitation. I extended my 2TB array to 3TBs and ESXi 5.1 does not see the array because I am using a DRIVER that does not support 2TB+ arrays on a P400 controller. The HSPA driver supports 2TB+ arrays but is not compatiblewith the P400 controller. The P410 controller is compatible with the HSPA driver hence the need to upgrade/replace the controller.
NOTHING to do with a 2TB limit in ESXi, everything to do with a non-compatible driver.
For everybody else that has read the entire thread like I originally did, I'm waiting for my P410 controller to arrive and I'll post back if the swap will "magically" restore my currently non-accessible virtual machines.
