i have a MS cluster of 2 virtual machines and i need to migrate the physical RDM LUNs pointer files and VMDKs to some other datastore. [each VM is having 45 RDMs and 5 disks ( VMDKs)]
it is possible if i shutdown the VMs to move pRDM (pointer file ) but need some details.
Is it possible by storage vmotion and automatically my VMDKS and pRDM pointer files will be migrated to the newly pointed datastore.with out removing the pRDMs ? will it not convert my RDMs to VMDKs?
is there any screenshots/video i can see , i dont have any testing envirnemnt to look?
This should help: VMware Knowledge Base
still not clear.
If i shutdown the MS cluster and perform the storage migration and choose other datacenter, will it be not converting my RDM luns to .VMDK and only migrating my RDM pointer files?
