Problem

In Veritas System Recovery, if the source volumes are a combination of GPT and MBR and the VHDX size is more than 2 TB then the VHDX is not supported.

Cause

MBR disk layout can only be extended up to 2 TB volumes. Due to this limitation, if the source volume combination (MBR+GPT) is greater than 2 TB, then the created VHDX does not boot.

Solution

To resolve this issue, you can create separate jobs for MBR and GPT volumes.
