RDM on Local SATA Disk in ESXi4

RDM with local SATA disk is now working in ESXi with following steps:

- locate your target RDM disk using 'fdisk -l' or 'ls /vmfs/devices/disks'
- create .vmdk RDM file using 'vmkfstools -r /vmfs/devices/disks/... .vmdk'
- add above .vmdk RDM file to VM as existing disk

My main reason for doing this is to bypass VMFS to utilize benefit of Windows Home Server: disk is readable by standard windows machine.
