What is a raw device mapping (RDM), and when is it recommended that it be used?
What will be an ideal response?
Instead of storing virtual machine data in a virtual disk file stored on a VMFS data store, when using an RDM disk the guest operating system stores data directly on a the host computer's storage (local or SAN). Storing the data this way may provide faster data access and is useful if you are running applications in your virtual machines that must know the physical characteristics of the storage device. An RDM is recommended when a virtual machine must interact with data on the actual local disk on the SAN.
