I have to vm networks setup with vm's on them attached to san storage and I am trying to setup replication software to replicate the datastores (vmfs) from the production site to the dr site and they are telling me that I need to setup RDM  visble to the esx host for the one san on the dr side and the same for the one on the production side.
How can I get this accomplished?

How can I convert VMDK to RDM in Vmware ESXi 4.1

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
