I'm not sure when HP(E) added support for 2TB disks to DFG.  That *might* have 
been V3.0, but it could have been V3.1.

VSI's V3.2 came out in 2015 (June, I think), and I'd guess that V3.0/V3.1 came 
out some time after 2009, but that's a guess.

HP released VMS V8.4 in late 2010; VMS releases sometimes spurred new
LP versions.
