I have a VM that is booting off an aVHD, which I can only assume was a snapshot of it at one point. The folder contains a single VHD, which should be the original, and multiple other aVHD files from various dates/times. When shutting down the VM none of these aVHD's merge into the VHD, would this be because it isn't running from the VHD?
Could I follow the instructions in this post to get them all to merge with no issues?
Can I create a brand new VHD from the aVHD it's running off of to have a fresh start?
Naturally, this is a production machine hosting the companies main LOB application.
