  2. Again I tried with windows 10 where I found all the cmdlet to convert into.VHD but the.VHD thus converted did not work while deploying into Hyper-V server and azure cloud. Now I am going for windows 2012 server. I am still unsure what I am missing. Its not a windows ISO file. Its our custom ISO file.
InWindows 8.1/Windows Server 2012 R2, Mounting a VHD, sometimes the drive letterdoes not show up. The code fragment below has a workaround to solve this aswell.
VHD file can be used asa generic container to store file collection. The file collection can behierarchical (i.e.) like a disk drive. Hence it can be used as a packagingmechanism, easy to transfer single file. This also comes in handy withautomation. A typical automation scenario is: Create a VHD file, copy the filecontent to this VHD file, and make this VHD available to the VM as anadditional disk. This technique is used in multi.
New-VHD cmdlet creates aVHD file, but the created file is not formatted (hence no file system). Before thedisk is formatted, it has to be initialized and a partition should be created.After I figured how to format the disk, I started to hit the following messagebox randomly.
I tried different thingswith no luck. Finally, I reached out to Senthil Rajaram, Senior Program Managerat Microsoft. He gave me the brilliant code fragment that solved this annoyingpopup.
Convert iso to vhd powershell file
#VHDPath – Full path to a VHD file
#Size – size of the VHD file to create. This creates a dynamic VHD,
{
$drive= (New-VHD-path$vhdpath-SizeBytes$size-Dynamic `
get-disk-number {$_.DiskNumber} `
New-Partition-UseMaximumSize-AssignDriveLetter:$False-MbrTypeIFS `
Format-Volume-Confirm:$false-FileSystemNTFS-force `
Add-PartitionAccessPath-AssignDriveLetter-PassThru `
}
Note:In the above code sample, the expression to create VHD and format is a singlepipeline, but spread over multiple lines for readability. If a line ends withthe character “`”, it tells PowerShell that the following line is acontinuation of the current line.
To access and manipulate a VHD file, it has to be mounted.Use the Mount-VHD cmdlet to mount the VHD file. By default it assigns a driveletter to the mounted VHD. (i.e.) You can access the VHD file like a diskdrive. I wrote a simple helper function “MountVHD”, this takes the path to theVHD file and returns the path where the file is mounted.
# Mount the VHD file so that it can beaccessed like a drive
# Returns path to the mounted VHD (e.g.) D:
functionMountVHD ($VHDPath)
Mount-VHD$VHDPath
Get-Disk `
'$($drive):'
Get-PSDriveOut-Null# Work around.some times the drive is not mounted
# After dismount the drive is not accessible.
functionDismountVHD ($VHDPath)
Dismount-VHD$VHDPath
