IVdsPack::ReplaceDisk method (vds.h)

Article

[Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, the Virtual Disk Service COM interface is superseded by the Windows Storage Management API.]

Not supported.

This method is reserved for future use.

Syntax

HRESULT ReplaceDisk(
  [in]  VDS_OBJECT_ID OldDiskId,
  [in]  VDS_OBJECT_ID NewDiskId,
  [out] IVdsAsync     **ppAsync
);

Parameters

[in] OldDiskId

The GUID of the old disk.

[in] NewDiskId

The GUID of the new disk.

[out] ppAsync

The address of an IVdsAsync interface pointer, which VDS initializes on return. Callers must release the interface. Use this interface to cancel, wait for, or query the status of the 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
S_OK	The disk replacement completed successfully.
VDS_E_NOT_SUPPORTED 0x80042400L	This method is not supported in this release.

Remarks

Callers can use this method for media migration (replacing an old disk with a new disk) or when repairing a fault-tolerant set with a missing or failed member—especially for those providers that do not implement hot sparing.

The new disk must be in the same pack as the old disk and cannot contain data; it can have the wrong partitioning style. In the event of a successful replacement, the old disk retains the partitioning style but no valid volumes.

Implementers must return a pointer to the IVdsAsync interface for this method, regardless of whether the call initiates an asynchronous operation. If your provider does not implement hot sparing, it must support the failed-member scenario: start synchronizing the exposed fault-tolerant volume again after the caller invokes the ReplaceDisk method.
