RDM Disk mapping file move to different Data store

 

Hello Team..

We have a Windows Cluster environment on VMWare with essentials plus license,for which we are using physical RDM Disks

so these physical RDM Disk mapping files are placed on a datastore DATASTORE-A which is accessible to all the hosts (SERVER-A and SERVER-B)

example for  SERVER-A-VM and SERVER-B-VM there is a shared physical RDM disk by the name DATA kept on a datastore DATASTORE-A, it is working.

Now the question if we have another datasore DATASTORE-B which is also accessible to all the hosts, and we move the RDM mapping files from DATASTORE-A to DATASTORE-B, and then attach the RDM Disk files from DATASTORE-B,by using the option -Use an existing HDD in VMWare , will it work?

Because when we tested this ,it did allowed to add the Disk in the server,but the same LUN will be shown as available for a new RDM ,if we try to add a new RDM disk.( physical LUN path will not be shown it was adding as a normal vmdk)

Thank you..
