RDM Disk Replication with Site Recovery manager and vsphere Replication.

Hello,

I have to replicate a pool of VMS that have RDM disks attached. On my main site I have Site Recovery Manager and vsphere Replication.

The secondary site is Vxrail nodes, here I also have an SRM instance and another vsphere Replication.

Reviewing some KBs, they tell me that I must change the disk controller from physical to virtual mode and I can replicate the vm without any problem. Motivated that vsphere replication only supports virtual mode and not physical mode.

However, I would like to validate if I should take into account another consideration to replicate these VMs with RDM.
