Re: Merge VHD
Gian, I did that once, but I used the following command: vhd-util coalesce -p -n .vhd –o /tmp/ .vhd You need the full chain of the '.vhd' in the folder you are running this command On Thu, Oct 5, 2017 at 8:07 AM, Mārtiņš Jakubovičswrote: > Hello Gian, > > I would suggest just to copy vdi. > > xe vdi-copy uuid= sr-uuid= > > This will create new VDI in destination SR without VHD chain. > > > > On 2017.10.05. 10:40, Gian Paolo Buono wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I use cloudstack with XenServer and I would like to move some disks to >> another xenserver pool. >> I would like to join the chain of disks and create a single vhd to move >> it.

Re: Merge VHD
Hi Gian Paolo, Can you elaborate ? What are the errors you are seeing, what doesn’t work?
