SOLUTION: Error moving RDM from one VM to another
- Shutdown both VMs (NOT a MSCS cluster)
- Removed Virtual Compatibility Mode RDM from old VM
Attempted to add to new VM
- Got: "a general system error occurred error creating disk device or resource busy"
- Steps attempted to fix that did not work
- HBA rescan
- Restart hosts svcs
- service mgmt-vmware restart
- service vmware-vpxa restart
- Connect VIC directly to ESX host
- What did work
- Migrate VM to same host as old VM
- Add RDM
