      [-PassThru]
      [-ComputerName <String>]
      [-Credential <PSCredential>]
      [<CommonParameters>]

      -InputObject <IscsiVirtualDisk>

      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Expand-IscsiVirtualDisk cmdlet expands a virtual disk. When the operation is online, the initiator can still access the virtual disk even while it is expanding.

However, the initiator will not automatically see the expanded virtual disk. To get access to the larger virtual disk, the initiator will need to use the Resize-Partition cmdlet to expand the volume hosted on the virtual disk.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

PS C:\> Expand-IscsiVirtualDisk -Path "E:\temp\test.vhd" -Size 20GB

This example expands the virtual disk with the path E:\temp\test.vhd to 20GB.
