Re: How to map a RDM to a VM via the CLI

I do have a question on this part.

Edit the configuration file for the virtual machine and add lines similar to these:

scsi0:0.name = “Vmfs1:Barney.vmdk”

scsi0:0.deviceType = “scsi-passthru-rdm”
The value scsi-passthru-rdm specifies physical compatibility mode.

Out of courisity I am trying this manually to see what happens.  After adding the lines then what?  At this point nothing is different.  Does the VM have to be rebooted for it to take effect?  Is there a CLI command to make it take effect?

Thanks.
