    This should be OK. Review this link for details: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1005241

    As a quick note. Make sure the RDM mapping file (.vmdk) shows the current LUN size. In case you created the RDM and later resized/grew the LUN, the RDM still has the "old" informations and you may end up with a partly converted virtual disk!
