I have a virtualized Windows Server 2008 with iSCSI volume attached (inside the guest). This disk servers as the main file server data disk with lots of shares, permissions, etc.
I would like to "convert" the guest-attached iSCSI volume to a VMWare VMDK by disconnecting the iSCSI target from the Windows Server and reconnecting it inside the VM host and adding it as a virtual disk back to the guest while of course retaining all the file share information.
My question is the following - would it work if I just disconect the iSCSI disk from the Windows Server, attach a virtual disk (VMDK) and change the drive letter to the one previously used by the iSCSI disk?
