VM's with RAW LUN's

[johnswb]

OK, I have 3 ESX servers and VMotion is enabled. My questions is: If I have a RAW LUN attached to all three host will I be able to VMotion a VM that is using the RAW LUN? NOTE: this LUN will be a data drive connected to the VM. I've looked on the forum and could not find the answer. If someone knows please do tell. In the mean time, I'm going to add a small LUN to test.

Here is a white paper you might find useful as well. Look on page 12 for confirmation that you can VMotion VMs on RDMs.
