IVdsLun::ApplyHints method (vds.h)
[Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, the Virtual Disk Service COM interface is superseded by the Windows Storage Management API.]
Applies a new set of hints to the LUN. Hints that are applied to a LUN are simultaneously applied to all plexes.
Syntax
HRESULT ApplyHints(
[in] VDS_HINTS *pHints
);
Parameters
[in] pHints
A pointer to the new hints to be applied to the LUN. See the VDS_HINTS structure.
Return value
This method can return standard HRESULT values, such as E_INVALIDARG or E_OUTOFMEMORY, and VDS-specific return values. It can also return converted system error codes using the HRESULT_FROM_WIN32 macro. Errors can originate from VDS itself or from the underlying VDS provider that is being used. Possible return values include the following.
| Return code/value | Description |
|---|---|
|
This return value signals a software or communication problem inside a provider that caches information about the array. Use the IVdsHwProvider::Reenumerate method followed by the IVdsHwProvider::Refresh method to restore the cache. |
|
The LUN object is no longer present. |
|
The LUN is in a failed state and unable to perform the requested operation. |
|
Another operation is in progress. This operation cannot proceed until the previous operation or operations are complete. |
|
This operation or combination of parameters is not supported by this provider. |
Remarks
Instead of using this method, callers can specify hints by passing in the pHints parameter to the IVdsSubSystem::CreateLun method when creating a LUN. Use the IVdsLun::QueryHints method to query for existing hints.
