StorageManager.Disks Property

 

Gets a collection that contains all of the disks on the system.

Namespace:   Microsoft.WindowsServerSolutions.Storage
Assembly:  StorageOM (in StorageOM.dll)

Syntax

public ThreadSafeReadOnlyObservableCollection<Disk> Disks { get; }

public:
property ThreadSafeReadOnlyObservableCollection<Disk^>^ Disks {
    ThreadSafeReadOnlyObservableCollection<Disk^>^ get();
}

Public ReadOnly Property Disks As ThreadSafeReadOnlyObservableCollection(Of Disk)

Property Value

Type: Microsoft.WindowsServerSolutions.Common.ProviderFramework.ThreadSafeReadOnlyObservableCollection<Disk>

A ThreadSafeReadOnlyObservableCollection<T> that contains all of the disks on the system.

Remarks

Care must be used when the code calls synchronous storage operations from a storage collection changed event handler. The thread that the object model uses to call the event handler will deadlock if a synchronous storage operation is invoked. A different thread, or an approach that uses asynchronous operations, should be used.

Examples

The following code example shows how to display information about all of the disks in storage.

try
{
   StorageManager storageManager = new StorageManager();
   storageManager.Connect();
}
catch (StorageObjectModelException stoEx)
{
   //Handle exception
}

foreach (Disk disk in storageManager.Disks)
{
   Console.WriteLine("Disk {0}:", disk.FriendlyName);
   Console.WriteLine("---------------------------");
   Console.WriteLine("BusType = {0}", disk.BusType);
   Console.WriteLine("CapacityBytes = {0}", disk.CapacityBytes);
   Console.WriteLine("CurrentStatus = {0}", disk.CurrentStatus);
   Console.WriteLine("DiskSetID = {0}", disk.DiskSetID);
   Console.WriteLine("DataFreeBytes = {0}", disk.DataFreeBytes);
   Console.WriteLine("ID = {0}", disk.ID);
   Console.WriteLine("ManufacturerName = {0}", disk.ManufacturerName);
   Console.WriteLine("Partition = {0}", disk.Partition);
   Console.WriteLine("SerialNumber = {0}", disk.SerialNumber);
   Console.WriteLine("SystemDisk {0}", disk.SystemDisk);
   Console.WriteLine("BackupDisk {0}", disk.BackupDisk);
   Console.WriteLine("DataCapacityBytes = {0}", disk.DataCapacityBytes);
   Console.WriteLine("UserTag = {0}", disk.UserTag);
   Console.WriteLine("VdsID = {0}", disk.VdsID);
   Console.WriteLine();
}
