Troubleshooting case study
Hyper-V: checkpoint and storage state
The documented workflow accounts for checkpoints and the active VHDX before modifying storage. Final host and guest observations are retained as separate evidence.
Environment
APP01 on nested Hyper-V, with host-side virtual disk state and guest-side partition/filesystem validation.
Diagnostic process, findings & corrective action
The documented workflow accounts for checkpoints and the active VHDX before modifying storage. Final host and guest observations are retained as separate evidence.
Validation & outcome
Before/after host and guest evidence supports the scoped virtual-disk and NTFS storage administration work.
Lessons & limitations
Personal nested Hyper-V lab storage administration. Claims are limited to the documented VM/disk/guest changes and validation.
The evidence supports the specific scenario. Unestablished root causes are not presented as confirmed.
