SQL Server Database File Size over 2TB displayed wrong
Description
SQL Server databases that are over 2TB (Terabyte) will not report correctly in graphs or growth reports out of Foglight or in WMI queries. Databases File sizes under 2TB are displayed properly.
Cause
The WMI Win32 Class property is unable to report over 2TB due to an expected limitation in the OS.
