Re: vmware issue
That way you can even 'flip back' to the physical server. Make sure only one of them has access to the disk at a time, though!

Re: vmware issue
here are steps:
1. install server in Vmware
2. present Eva storage to ESX server/servers
3. rescan FC HBA's on you ESX/ESX's
4. DO NOT create vmfs storage on newly detected volume!
5. POWER OFF your virtual server
6. go to Edit setting in your VM, clik Add disk, click Raw device mapping disk, select it from the list, confirm setting.
7. Power on you VM.
8. Enjoy your old disk in new virtual enviroment. :)

Re: vmware issue
i have 2 more doubts,
1)Is anything is to be done from the storage size apart from presenting the LUN to the ESX host?
2)My data will be intact.r8???

Re: vmware issue
E.g. addresses 1..19 are used for VMFS.
Addresses 20..39 are used for RDMs.
2. The data is not touched, but be careful with tools like FDISK, DD, ... and never use the "Add Storage" on an RDM disk - many people are confused by this, but it is only used to create a new VMFS datastore.
That's why I recommend using different address ranges for LUN addresses.
