move vm from using virtual filedisk to virtual disk

[Stijn Adriaensens]

In Integrity VM, is it possible to move a guest from using a virtual filedisk backing store to using a virtual disk backing store?

In other words, is there a way to mount the virtual filedisk used by the VM, and copy it over to a physical disk. Then make the VM use the physical disk as it's backing store instead of it using the virtual filedisk.

For a data disk, just present the disk to the VM and copy the data over...

For an OS disk, this could be easily accomplished using DRD. Again present the disk and then use DRD to clone the OS disk to the newly presented LUN.
