How to merge (independent !) VMDKs with vmware-vdiskmanager.exe?

In general users can merge separate (but chained !!) *.vmdk into ONE by issuing a command like e.g.

vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -r Mint.vmdk -t 0 minttarget.vmdk

This works as long as the *.vmdks belong to a file chain with a related filename like

Mint.vmdk

Mint-s001.vmd

Mint-s002.vmdk

....

Mint-s009.vmdk

But what if the vmdks are completely independent like

Mint.vmdk

and

foobar.vmdk

How would the vmware-vdiskmanager.exe command look like in this case?

No, I don' twant to discuss whether it make sense to merge *.vmdk or not.

I just appreciate to know the command syntax for the purpose described above.

Thank you

Matt

There is no command syntax for "the purpose described above"! Smiley Wink

There is only one conversion option syntax which is: "vmware-vdiskmanager -r sourceDisk.vmdk -t 0 destinationDisk.vmdk"
