SYNOPSIS
Perform an alignment operation on a misaligned virtual hard disk file. If t

SYNTAX
Repair-NaVirtualDiskAlignment [-VirtualDisk] <String> [-ForceHostCopy] [-Con
troller <NaController>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Perform an alignment operation on a misaligned virtual hard disk file. If t
he virtual hard disk file contains only aligned partitions the cmdlet will d
o nothing.
The virtual disk must be an MBR disk residing on a Data ONTAP LUN or Data ON
TAP CIFS share. Virtual disks inside a Data ONTAP volume not visible to the
host are supported (accessed using a /vol/<volname>/<path> path).
When possible, the cmdlet will use Data ONTAP to offload the alignment opera
tion. The cmdlet will prompt for confirmation when a host-based copy is goi
ng to be used. The switch, ForceHostCopy, can be used to force the cmdlet t
o use a host-based copy.
The cmdlet backs up the virtual hard disk file with the original name plus t
he extension ".bkup"
