hi Neil,

The command should not affect other VMs (Make sure to run the command
with "vm_names ='proxy02'").

Just to be sure use SELECT before running the command to check that only
one image is returned:
SELECT * FROM images where image_guid = (SELECT image_guid from
all_disks where disk_alias = 'proxy02_Disk0' and vm_names ='proxy02');
