    Hi ,

    We are having a requirement of Moving Physical RDMs data to new storage array RDMs. what is the best approach to achieve this without affecting Microsoft clustering services. 

    ESXI : 7.0

    Old Array : Hitachi

    New Array : EMC 

    Virtual machines : 2 VMs - Shared disks (bus-sharing) - File share server - Microsoft cluster service - Containing Quorum disk and Data disk are RDM LUNs.

    No tools are allowed except robocopy .Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

    the only thing you can do is use robocopy, but it will mean downtime for the cluster. with a physical rdm there's no other option unfortunately.
