IVdsMaintenance::StartMaintenance 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[Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, the Virtual Disk Service COM interface is superseded by the Windows Storage Management API.]
Starts a maintenance operation.
Syntax
HRESULT StartMaintenance(
[in] VDS_MAINTENANCE_OPERATION operation
);
Parameters
[in] operation
A maintenance operation enumerated by VDS_MAINTENANCE_OPERATION.
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 subsystem object is no longer present. |
|
The subsystem 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. |
|
This operation or combination of parameters is not supported by this provider. |
Remarks
Once an operation begins, it runs until the caller invokes either the StopMaintenance method or the PulseMaintenance method. When StopMaintenance is called on a running operation, the operation stops immediately. When PulseMaintenance is called on a running operation, the operation pulses the specified number of times and then stops.
Calling StartMaintenance on a pulsing operation causes the operation to start and run until either StopMaintenance is called to stop it or PulseMaintenance is called to set it pulsing it again.
