DESCRIPTION
Convert a VHD or VHDX file into a VMDK file.
The source and destination files must reside inside of a Data ONTAP volume (
accessed using a path starting with /vol/<volname>), a Data ONTAP attached L
UN, or a Data ONTAP CIFS share (accessed using a mapped network drive or a U
NC path starting with \\hostname\<share>). The source and destination files
must reside on the same controller and volume.
If the controller supplied in the Controller parameter is not the controller
containing the files, the cmdlet consults the credentials cache and attempt
s to connect via HTTPS. If credentials are not present in the credentials c
ache, an attempt to connect via RPC is made. If a connection cannot be made
, the cmdlet will fail.
PARAMETERS
-SourceVhd <String>
Path to the source VHD file. The path can be a path to the file on a Da
ta ONTAP mounted LUN or a path to a Data ONTAP CIFS share (either a mapp

Required? true
Position? 1
Default value
Accept pipeline input? true (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-DestinationVmdk <String>
Path to the destination VMDK file. If not supplied, the VMDK file will
be created in the same directory as the source VMDK. The file must not
exist. The path can be a path to the file on the controller (starting w
ith /vol/<volname>), a path to the file on a Data ONTAP mounted LUN, or
a path to a Data ONTAP CIFS share (either a mapped network drive or a UN
C path starting with \\hostname\<share>).
Required? false
Position? 2
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-VmdkType <VmdkDescriptor+CreateType>
The VMDK type of the VMDK file to be created. The supported types are:
"vmfs", "monolithicFlat", and "twoGbMaxExtentFlat". If not provided, t
he type will be "vmfs".
Required? false
Position? 3
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-AdapterType <VmdkDescriptor+AdapterType>
The adapter type to assign the created VMDK. Supported values types are

Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SourceVhdx <String>
Path to the source VHDX file. The path can be a path to the file on a D
ata ONTAP mounted LUN, a path to a Data ONTAP CIFS share (either a mappe
d network drive or a UNC path starting with \\hostname\<share>), or a pa
th to a file residing on a Data ONTAP controller (starting with /vol/<vo
lname>/).
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value
Accept pipeline input? true (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
