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

Parameter Set: Default
Convert-IscsiVirtualDisk [-Path] <String> [-DestinationPath] <String> [ <CommonParameters>]

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.

Specifies the destination path of the iSCSI virtual disk path to which to be copied and converted.
