How to move a Guest VHD to new hard drive after RAID failure

-

i have hyper-v server 6 drives configured in 3 raid-1 arrays (nos, data , database).  the hyper-v host installed on nos drive along vhd file guest os.  on data drive vhd guest’s user data.  there’s nothing on database drive.

i had failure of 1 of drives make data raid-1.  the physical data drive little small pulled database drives out of system , inserted 2 new 1t drives , created new raid-1 "new data" drive.  i copied guest data vhd file new drive, but, virtual machine data root (\virtual machines\) xml configuration file on original data drive…

question 1 – assumption correct if remove original data drive contains xml configuration file , try start guest, i'll have problems?

question 2 – if assumption in question #1 correct, there simple way move xml file new data drive (copying it's simple, don't see way redirect hyper-v new location)?

i know can “export” new data drive (fortunately it’s large enough hold everything) , import system, but, i’ll have go in , change mapping guest os location (putting original location on nos drive)…

thanks , advance can get!

hi!

you can perform export/import of configuration files only, ben armstrong described on blog here:

you create new virtual machine @ desired location, , attach existing vhd files it.
