If you counter following error:
ConvertTo-MvmcVirtualHardDisk : The entry 1 is not a supported disk database entry for the descriptor.
In my case it was entry 4
Follow these steps:
- download and extract dsfok tools
- use
dsfo.exe "c:\temp\disk2.vmdk" 512 1024 descriptor1.txtto extract the descriptor - edit the descriptor file in Notepad++: comment the above mentioned line (as I added the extra single character (#) I also deleted one NULL character from the end to keep the file size of 1024 bytes (not sure if this is needed).
- use
dsfi.exe "c:\temp\disk2.vmdk" 512 1024 descriptor1.txtto inject the descriptor back into the VMDK - repeat these steps for the other disk (my VM has two
.vmdkfiles) - reissue the
ConvertTo-MvmcVirtualHardDiskcommand
