Expand-IscsiVirtualDisk
Expands an iSCSI virtual disk.
Syntax
Parameter Set: Path
Expand-IscsiVirtualDisk [-Path] <String> [ <CommonParameters>]
Parameter Set: __AllParameterSets
Expand-IscsiVirtualDisk [-Size] <UInt64> [-ComputerName <String> ] [-Credential <PSCredential> ] [-PassThru] [ <CommonParameters>]
Parameter Set: InputObject
Expand-IscsiVirtualDisk -InputObject <IscsiVirtualDisk> [ <CommonParameters>]
Detailed 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.
Parameters
-ComputerName<String>
Specifies the computer name, or IP address, of the remote computer, if this cmdlet is run on a remote computer.
Specifies the cluster resource group network name, or cluster node name, if this cmdlet is run on a cluster configuration.
