Which two statements are true regarding VMFS3 volumes in ESXi 6.x? (Choose two.)

B. Upgrading VMFS3 volumes to VMFS5 is supported.

Correct Answer: AB
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
While a VMFS-3, which is upgraded to VMFS-5, provides you with most of the capabilities as a newly created VMFS-5, there are some differences.
Both upgraded and newly created VMFS-5 support single-extent volumes up to 64TB and both support VMDK sizes of ~2TB, no matter what the VMFS file-block size is. However additional differences, although minor, should be considered when making a decision whether to upgrade to VMFS-5 or create new VMFS-5 volumes.
