Hi! For a Virtual Machine that is already shutdown, does anyone know if I can detach a disk from the VM, export the remaining parts of the VM, then reattach the disk without causing any problems with the software installed in the VM? Thanks, Anthony
I suppose it would matter how that disk is presented and used by the operating system. If it’s the boot drive of course it would cause issues. If it’s just a data disk maybe not. On Wed, Jan 22, 2020 at 5:45 PM <anthonywest@alfatron.com.au> wrote:

It does not create any issue to the source VM. The cloned VM will have missing disk(s) and its behavior will dipend on which disk(s) you removed.
