Hi Andre,

i want to migrate files existing on my sata drive to an vmdisk on my datastore but i dont want to do that using network. Do you have any option?

Thanks,

If you do the RDM as Andre suggested then the disk/files will appear to be inside a VMDK. You can then move or copy them from within a virtual machine to wherever you need to.
