Hi,

There are 23 AVHDX files and I merge all of them step by step.
The last file which needs to merge with VHD gives me an error.

Please review the below images. Any possible solution?

Event viewer Error:

The volume Dell SATA-S (C:\ClusterStorage\Dell SATA-SSD 2) was not optimized because an error was encountered: This operation is not supported on this filesystem. (0x89000020)

    Hello

    Thank you for your question and reaching out.

    From the error it looks its being used or merging is still in process.

    1. Try SYSTEM account full rights to the .avhdx files

    icacls "full-path-to-vhd-or-vhdx-file" /grant "NT VIRTUAL MACHINE\Virtual-Machine-ID":(F)

    1. Disable any Back of Antivirus program for temporary purpose.
    2. Restart Hyper-V and VMMS services

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply but I already tried everything Restart Hyper-V and VMMS services. Assign full permission rights to SYSTEM against AVHDX file but still the same error.
