IVdsLun::QueryActiveControllers 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[Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, the Virtual Disk Service COM interface is superseded by the Windows Storage Management API.]
Returns an enumeration of currently active controllers—the controllers through which the LUN is accessible.
Syntax
HRESULT QueryActiveControllers(
[out] IEnumVdsObject **ppEnum
);
Parameters
[out] ppEnum
The address of an IEnumVdsObject interface pointer that can be used to enumerate the controllers in the subsystem as controller objects. For more information, see Working with Enumeration Objects. Callers must release the interface and each of the controller objects when they are no longer needed by calling the IUnknown::Release method.
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 |
|---|---|
|
Returns the enumeration of active controllers. If the LUN has no active controllers, the enumeration is empty. |
|
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 is unable to perform the requested operation. |
|
Another operation is in progress; this operation cannot proceed until the previous operation or operations are complete. |
Remarks
Use the IVdsLun::AssociateControllers method to set the controller. Use the IVdsController::QueryAssociatedLuns method to query the LUNs associated with a particular controller.
Most subsystems offer only one active controller for a LUN, leaving the other controllers in standby mode. However, some subsystem manufacturers do permit multiple simultaneously active controllers.
