Hi
I am currently involved in a project in patching our esxi5 hosts one host at a time. I just recently joined a new company so am newer to this organisations environment.
We have 3 seperate clusters all managed in our production vcenter.
I am using VUM to patch a host one at a time using Vmotion to migrate VMs to the other hosts. I can only perform upgrades up to 5.0 Update 3 due to the age of the hosts.
I am aware that we have a few VMs using Physical RDMs, I think i know the answer to this and think I shouldnt expect issue but with my RDM machines which physical compatibilty mode am I right in thinking I shouldnt get a problem migrating them VMs to another host in the cluster? When I go through the stages of peforming a vmotion (but not actually performing a vmotion) when I change host and migrate to another host it does say 'validation succeeded" so in my eyes that means it should migrate over and the RDM disks will been seen on the hosts.
If I do see this message am I right in thinking the machine should have no issues once moved to another host?
Thanks
