I need to move a iSCSI volume

I need to move a iSCSI volume that is currently attached to a stand alone windows box to a virtual windows box?  Can this be done without formatting? When I attach a new volume I get a format warning and I can't loos the data.

Welcome to the Community - You can - you will need to present the LUN to a virtual machine as an RDM -

Thank you on both parts.  I've been away from VMware for about 6 years now I'm back into it.  I'll probably have a bunch of stupid questions as I get re-acquainted with the new features and options. .

HELP again,
so I tried to attach the drive directly to the VM.  It asked me If I wanted to store it with the VM, I said yes and now I've lost all contact with the VM (There was a space issue that I have corrected on the SAN).  I can't stop, start or even delete it.
