NF:vdshwprv.IVdsLun.Delete |
IVdsLun::Delete (vdshwprv.h) |
The IVdsLun::Delete (vdshwprv.h) method deletes the LUN and all of its plexes. Any data on the LUN is lost. VDS frees the extents allocated to the LUN. |

Deletes the LUN and all of its plexes. Any data on the LUN is lost. VDS frees the extents allocated to the LUN.
This method can return standard HRESULT values, such as 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 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. |
If an application holds a reference to the IVdsLun interface and calls IVdsLun::Delete, implementers should return VDS_E_OBJECT_DELETED on subsequent calls to methods such as GetProperties on that interface. In this case, the interface has an outstanding reference and is valid, but the underlying object no longer exists.
If a LUN that is unmasked to a target machine is deleted, the LUN's visibility on that machine may not change until a bus rescan is performed. The VDS application on the target machine initiates the bus rescan by calling IVdsService::Reenumerate. The initiating of the bus rescan is the responsibility of the VDS application, not the hardware provider.
If a method such as IVdsLun::Delete is called in one thread while IVdsSubSystem::QueryLuns is called in another thread that is running simultaneously, the result could be a provider access violation. The hardware provider is responsible for serializing these methods as needed to minimize such synchronization issues.
The hardware provider is responsible for removing the LUN's partition information so that the LUN can be reused. If the LUN is an MBR disk, this is accomplished by writing zeros to the first and last 1 MB of the disk. For a GPT disk, zeros must be written to the first and last 16 KB of the disk.
