For reference if you have separate App Volume Manager environments for test and production and you need to copy AppStacks between to two installations there is a KB article:
VMware KB: Copying an AppStack to another App Volumes Manager instance
As indicated you need to create AppStacks with an App Volumes Manager environment. An AppStack is created by copying an existing template. This App Volumes template is a vmdk that has a partition on it that is formatted NTFS and contains certain files that allow us to identify and control the behavior of an AppStack. On the machine that you attach AppStacks to and on the provisioning machine (used for putting applications into an AppStack) there is an App Volumes agent. This recognizes when a disk is attached and if it is a App Volumes disk it does the concatenation magic. The agent has to talk to it's App Volumes Manager for some things including checking licensing at certain events.
