Hi
I have my VMs VHD files stored on my SAN and I have a copied one of the LUNs containing a vhd file which I have then exported to the shared storage of the hyper-V cluster which is just like and other VHD. The problem comes when trying to connect this copied vhd to the VM which still uses the original VHD . The system refuses reporting that it cannot add the same disk twice..
These are two different VHD files
I have: renamed the new file, changed the disk ID, changed the volume id and using vbox (because it was the only way I could find do it ) changed the uuid of the vhd file. But still no joy.
I can connect the volume to any other VM without any issues, but I need to be able to connect it to the same VM..
I'm not sure how Hyper-v is comparing the two VHD files but I need to know so I can I can connect the copy VHD without having to copy all its contents to a new VHD which is impractical..
Anyone got any ideas or a procedure??
windows 2008 R2 cluster with 3par SAN as storage.
