Update method of the MSFT_DedupVolumeStatus class
Scans the specified volumes to compute fresh data deduplication savings information and returns deduplication status objects containing fresh metadata, not cached.
Syntax
uint32 Update(
[in] string Volume[],
[out] MSFT_DedupVolumeStatus DedupVolumeStatus[]
);
Parameters
-
Volume [in]
-
A list of file system volumes for which to scan and compute fresh data deduplication savings information. Volumes can be specified by drive letter (for example, D:) or volume GUID path. A volume GUID path is a string of the form "\\?\Volume{GUID}\" where GUID is a GUID that identifies the volume.
-
DedupVolumeStatus [out]
-
Array of references to the updated deduplication status objects.
Return value
This method returns either a WMI return code or a system error code.
Remarks
When you call this method for multiple volumes at once, the analysis for each volume is done serially.
It is important to note that on large volumes this method can run for several minutes and will always perform a rescan after the initial scan. The default behavior is to wait for completion, regardless of the length of time required to run the scan and rescan.
