Hide method of the MSFT_VirtualDisk class

Hides a virtual disk from an initiator.

This operation is also known as "unexposing" or "masking" a virtual disk.

Syntax

UInt32 Hide(
  [in]  String              TargetPortAddresses[],
  [in]  String              InitiatorAddress,
  [in]  Boolean             RunAsJob,
  [out] MSFT_StorageJob REF CreatedStorageJob,
  [out] String              ExtendedStatus
);

Parameters

TargetPortAddresses [in]

An array of target port addresses for which the virtual disk should be hidden. Note: This array may contain a subset of the addresses originally given in the Show method.

This parameter is required and cannot be NULL.

InitiatorAddress [in]

The address of the initiator from which the virtual disk should be hidden.

This parameter is required and cannot be NULL.

RunAsJob [in]

If TRUE, this method uses the CreatedStorageJob parameter when the request is taking a long time to service. If a storage job has been created to track the operation, this method will return Method Parameters Checked - Job Started.

Note

Even if RunAsJob is TRUE, this method can still return a result if it has finished in sufficient time.

If FALSE or NULL, this method will follow default WMI asynchronous behavior as determined by the client's method for invocation. In other words, it is synchronous unless requested otherwise.

CreatedStorageJob [out]

If RunAsJob is set to TRUE and this method takes a long time to execute, this parameter receives a reference to the storage job object that is used to track the long-running operation.

ExtendedStatus [out]

A string that contains an embedded MSFT_StorageExtendedStatus object.

This parameter allows the storage provider to return extended (implementation-specific) error information.
