    hello

    Is it possible to remove physical mode RDM from x32 bit 2003 Standard edition then re-add to the x64 2003 standard edition OS ? is it supported and documented somewhere?

    An RDM is is simply a pointer to a raw LUN on a storage system which is formatted with the guest operating's file system (NTFS in your case). You can connect the LUN/RDM to any other VM which supports this file system independent of whether it is a 32 or 64 bit OS. You can even present such a LUN to a physical Windows host and it will work.
