=== Unable to Add RDM ===
Basic steps to add an RDM are...
# Provision LUN on SAN
# Rescan LUN's on ESX
# Add RDM to VM
'''.vmdk is larger than the maximum size supported by datastore'''
* Normally this error is misleading and really means that RDM can't be created due to an untrapped reason.  It does not mean that there is not enough space to create the (very small) RDM mapping file on the VMFS!
 
# Double check that the LUN has been properly created and available. 
# Attempt to add the disk as a new VMFS to an ESX (cancel at the last part of wizard)
# Then re-attempt to add the RDM to the VM
