Orphaned rdmp files. What do to?

We have a Linux VM that for various reasons had several iSCSI disks added and deleted as raw device mapped drives. I now have a bunch of *rdmp.vmdk files that no longer exist, but am having problems with vMotion because of them. Can I just delete the file? Do I need to change a config file or shutdown the guest first?

Thanks,

Anand

Those files are simple "proxy" for RDM disks.

You can delete them with no problem (if no VM is using them).
