I have a VM running DPM which has 4 drives attached. Drive 1 is the C: drive and contains the OS. This drive is fine and I don't need to do anything with it.
The other 3 drives are attached as virtual SCSI drives and all have .avhd files which I would like to merge back into their respective .vhd drives.
E.g. I have drive2.vhd and drive2.avhd and I would like to merge drive2.avhd back into drive2.vhd
All the instructions I can find on the web seem to refer only to merging the C: drive and they all contain instructions to do things like create a new VM after the merge and attach the merged drive to the new VM.
As I am only merging secondary drives do I have to go through all this? I'd just like to merge drive2.avhd into drive2.vhd and have the merged drive2 attached to its original VM.
Is is as simple as detaching drive2 using hyper-v manager, merging the .avhd into the .vhd and then reattaching the mergeddrive2 to the VM?
Many thanks
