I have a fully populated HP MSA20 disk shelf with 3TB of SATA drives (12*250GB)

The maximum logical drive size I can create is 2097151MB or approx 2TB.

Is there anyway around this? I require the full 3TB minus 250GB for Raid 5.

Thanks in advance

I have upgraded the firmware for both MSA20 and the server (DL360). I have also upgraded to Windows 2003 SP1 since it now supports logical drives larger than 2TB, but still nothing. Any ideas?

SCSI is limited to 2TB (2^32-1) bytes. You'll have to create two luns 1,5TB in size and create a volume set in Windows.
