The target disk will be initialized as MBR.
The OS will be automatically converted to
support BIOS booting.
If you want to deploy the source disk “as

1. Turn on the UEFI mode in BIOS.
2. Boot from a bootable media, and
perform the deployment.

Deployment to large disks in BIOS
After a deployment to a BIOS-based system, the target system disk is initialized as MBR. Because of
disk size limitations in BIOS, if the disk is larger than 2 TB, only the first 2 TB of disk space will be
available for use. If the machine supports UEFI, you can overcome this limitation by turning on the
UEFI mode and then performing the deployment. The disk is initialized as GPT. The 2-TB limitation for
GPT disks does not exist.
