Moving RDM to physical Host

[dshivamu]

Hello

Is it possible to move RDM disk to Physical server consider we dont ave snapshot anything.. and it is physical mode.. is it going to detect as forien disk in destination OS?

Yes, this is possible. You should be fine here, but which OS are you using with the RDM and what is the OS on the physical server? You might also want to leverage SAN snapshots to protect it during the cutover. And the same precaution as always with these operations - make sure you have a good backup.

its Windows 2003 standard edition, We are just taking NT backup to (Full and all volumes  ) to RDM then attaching to physicl server.

You should be fine moving this between two Win 2003 boxes. Again, always have those backups!
