could someone guide me how to create a RDM LUN in a correct way please.
I have create a new volume on my SAN and present the LUN to the esx which the server detected and can see the LUN, however when tried to create a new vm with RDM, the option is grey out, do I have to make that LUN to become RDM first? how?
Thanks

First of all dont present the LUN on ESX server, if its already added to the ESX server then remove it and unformat SAN LUNs. If the SAN LUN is added on ESX server and formated as datastore it cannot be mapped on the VM as RDM
Now on the VM go to edit settings and select new Hard disk and add the SAN LUN as RDM.

If you can't see the LUN as RDM... 1: the LUN was added as a datastore, or 2: the LUN is being used by another SO that are reserving it (maybe a VM or a physical machine).
