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® “8” Beta, 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 “8” Beta differencing virtual disks.
