Validation on createing, configuring and maintaining Vitrutal Mach

Createing VM's and the relationship of the Virutal Disks.

Is the prupose of the three hard drives found within VM settings that can
point to a *.vhd file to, expose the available disk space for partitions that
are created before intalling an XP\2003 guest OS. What's recommended for a
optimimal diff use for perfroamnce and disk space?

What is recomeded for diff disks? How do you setup the folders if you want
to use one primary server 2003 image?

Is saved state, the same as hiberations and when the file is delated, ti
will delete the proior session and be like pulling the plug on a computer?

When using diff disk, do I start the parent host system and write protect
the parent *.vhd file and where should the diff disk files reside? Are there
performance problems running a parent child relationship, so I only need to
have one base 2003 parent and have muliple differnrent disk diff VM that have
differnt applications installed on them?

How does the disk diff file structure look like and how do your safely
copying over the correct files, to run a disk diff VM. If you have an
application that is installed on the fourth child from the parent OS, do you
need to run sysprep, and shut down all the coressponding VM, and copy over
folders (containing *.vhd, *vmc, and *.vnc file for each of the VM parents?).
What is the bare minium that you can copy over and still make it be
compatible with differnet hardware?

Is there anything else that needs to happen, to make sure I can copy these
over to new harware and be copmpatible with either VPC or Vitual Server?

Has anyone created any scripts that have aided on the perfroamcne and
stabilty of virtual machoines on either VPC or Virutal Server?

Thanks in advance for EXPERT thought!

Cheers,
G
