How to solve "Cannot vMotion virtual machines with physical mode RDM"

1.  Open the vSphere PowerCLI command-line.

2.  Run the command:

Get-VM | Get-HardDisk -DiskType "RawPhysical","RawVirtual" | Select Parent,Name,DiskType,ScsiCanonicalName,DeviceName | fl

This command produces a list of virtual machines with RDMs, along with the backing SCSI device for the RDMs.

    An output looks similar to:

    Parent              Virtual Machine Display Name
    Name                Hard Disk n
    DiskType            RawVirtual
    ScsiCanonicalNamenaa.60123456789abcdef0123456789abcde
    DeviceName            vml.020000000060123456789abcdef0123456789abcde1234567890ab

    If you need to save the output to a file the command can be modified:

Get-VM | Get-HardDisk -DiskType "RawPhysical","RawVirtual" | Select Parent,Name,DiskType,ScsiCanonicalName,DeviceName | fl | Out-File –FilePath RDM-list.txt
    
  3.  Identify the backing SCSI device from either the ScsiCanonicalName or DeviceName identifiers.
