Converts an iSCSI virtual disk to a Generation one Advanced Format-aligned (4K sector technology) virtual disk.

       [-DestinationPath] <String>
       [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Convert-IscsiVirtualDisk cmdlet converts an iSCSI virtual disk to a Generation one Advanced Format-aligned (4K sector technology) virtual disk. If an attempt is made to load a VHD created by the previous version of the iSCSI Target in Windows Server® 2012, then the VHD must be converted by running this cmdlet. This cmdlet performs copy and conversion at the same time. A remote file share or local path for both source and destination path can be specified.

Note: Use this cmdlet if iSCSI Target 3.3 differencing virtual disks are migrated to Windows Server 2012 differencing virtual disks.

Examples
