Moving ESXi host to a different vCenter. (RDMs involved)

Hi all,

So, the scenario is the following.  Customer has an older vCenter stood up with a single host running under one of their datacenters. This ESXi host has a few VMs, one of which has several physical mode RDMs attached to it.  The new vCenter and datacenter/cluster they had me stand up will be utilizing the same storage array that is currently being used by the old system, so I had planned on just following the normal process suggested in this KB How to move ESXi/ESX host from one vCenter Server to another (1004775) | VMware KB

Will I potentially run into any issues following this simple procedure since RDMs are involved?  I figured I wouldn't since the same storage array is being used but I wanted to get more input if possible.

Thanks!

I believe you will not have any issues, since RDMs are not dependent of vCenter.
