1. A method, comprising: in response to a request to mount or dismount a first virtual hard disk in a virtual computing environment, determining, with a machine, whether an inter-virtual hard disk dependency rule associated with a second virtual hard disk is invoked and whether a condition of the inter-virtual hard disk dependency rule is satisfied; identifying, with the machine, a response action associated with the inter-virtual hard disk dependency rule if the inter-virtual hard disk dependency rule is invoked and the condition is satisfied; and executing the response action associated with the inter-virtual hard disk dependency rule with the machine, the response action including mounting the second virtual hard disk to a second virtual machine prior to mounting the first virtual hard disk to a first virtual machine.
