I am inclined to think that the solutions would depend on how exactly you intend to go about swapping the drive out? Will the VMs be on different physical machines? Do you expect to put the virtual drive on a network share or on a physical device to move between machines? Etc. In other words, what is the planned scenario or the range of options you would consider feasible?
