Understanding the messages from the iSCSI Target Migration tool

The iSCSI migration tool does not produce a log file, but it prints diagnostics messages on the console. These messages show the outcome of the operations that are being attempted and performed.

For example, the following message shows information about saved settings:

PS C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerSehll\V1.0\Modules\IscsiTarget>
.\iSCSITargetSettings.PS1 -Export -FileName $env:temp\test00000000.xml

Number of Target(s) saved in the Export settings: 4.
Target Names:
   test000
   test001
   test002
   test1111

Number of Virtual Disk(s) saved in the Export settings: 3.
Virtual Disk DevicePaths:
   s:\test000.vhd
   t:\test000.vhd
   z:\test000.vhd

Number of Virtual Disk(s) NOT saved in the Export settings: 0.
Virtual Disk DevicePaths:

The following message shows that not all the virtual disks are eligible for migration:

PS D:\Program Files\ISCSI Target> .\iSCSITargetSettings.PS1 -Export -FileName $env:temp\test00000001.xml
