Description
The Import-IscsiVirtualDisk cmdlet adds an iSCSI Virtual Disk object using an existing virtual hard disk (VHD) file. This cmdlet imports virtual disks in both VHD and VHDX formats. The New-IscsiVirtualDisk cmdlet creates virtual disks in the VHDX format only.
Examples
Example 1: Create a virtual disk for a VHD file
PS C:\> Import-IscsiVirtualDisk -Path "E:\Temp\test.vhd" -Description "Migrated from fs1"
This example creates a Virtual Disk object for an existing VHD file located at E:\Temp\test.vhd and sets the Virtual Disk object description to Migrated from fs1.
