RHV - Failed to add a new 2TB preallocated disk to a VM
Issue
The environment consists of 3 RHV hosts and 3 RHGS hosts.
It behaves stable during normal operations, but problems appear when we add to a VM a large "Preallocated" disks of size higher than 1.5TB , IO timeouts appear in the 3 RHV hosts , causing several VMs to pause.
Adding Thin-provisioned disks do not cause problems.
