Re: Converting a virtual disk into a Raw Device Mapping (passthrough)

I forgot to mention that there is also the possibility to use local disks and then convert them from CLI to RDM but non-passthrough as described here.

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=3443266

On top of the question on how to optimize the process of transferring a VM from images to non-passthrough RDMs I don't understand why VMware doesn't make available the conversion process to non-passthrough RDMs.

Thanks, Alex
