Remove SAN LUN from a Physical Host and assign it to VM as RDM

[virtual9999]

Hi Team,  I need to remove a SAN LUN from a physical host ( Windows 2008 R2) attached to NetApp SANtricity SAN and assign that LUN to a VM ( running on ESX 6.5 host ) as RDM.

Has any one done it and if there are any issues in recognizing the RDM LUN by the VM host ?

Thanks in advance..

There's dozens of threads of people who have done that on here...

• Connect virtual machine directly to LUN
• Move lun from physical machine to VM
• Move LUN from physical Windows box to an ESX VM without formatting

No issue whatsoever,
