Assuming the RDM LUN is presented to all hosts using the same host LUN ID, and the RDM pointer file as well as the other virtual machine files are accessible from the destination host, you can vMotion the VM as any other non-RDM VM. See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1005241

Cold and warm (or hot) refers to the VM's power state, i.e. powered off (cold), or powered on (hot/warm).
