DismountNtmsMedia Function

[Removable Storage Manager is no longer available as of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.]

The DismountNtmsMedia function queues a command to move the specified media in a drive to its storage. This function should be paired with the MountNtmsMedia function.

Syntax

DWORD DismountNtmsMedia(
  __in  HANDLE hSession,
  __in  LPNTMS_GUID lpMediaId,
  __in  DWORD dwCount,
  __in  DWORD dwOptions
);

Parameters

  • hSession [in]
    Handle to the session returned by the OpenNtmsSession function.

  • lpMediaId [in]
    Array of at least one logical medium or side.

  • dwCount [in]
    Number of media identifiers in the lpMediaId parameter.

  • dwOptions [in]
    Options. This parameter can be the following value.

    Value Meaning
    NTMS_DISMOUNT_DEFERRED

    Marks media state as Dismountable, and keeps the medium in the drive. Subsequent mount requests are satisfied using dismounted or dismountable drives. The default is to dismount immediately.

    NTMS_DISMOUNT_IMMEDIATE

    Dismount the drive immediately.

     

Return Value

This function returns one of the following values.

Value Meaning
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED

NTMS_USE_ACCESS to the media pool or library that contains the media is denied. Other security errors are also possible, but they would indicate a security subsystem error.

ERROR_DATABASE_FAILURE

The database is inaccessible or damaged.

ERROR_DATABASE_FULL

The database is full.

ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE

One or more resources required to perform the dismount are not currently available (probably disabled).

ERROR_INVALID_LIBRARY

The library that contains the media is not valid.

ERROR_INVALID_MEDIA

At least one of the specified media is not valid.

ERROR_INVALID_STATE

An unexpected media or device state occurred during dismount.

ERROR_MEDIA_OFFLINE

The specified media is offline.

ERROR_MEDIA_NOT_AVAILABLE

One or more media resources required to perform the mount are not currently available (probably disabled).

ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY

A memory allocation failure occurred during processing.

ERROR_SUCCESS

The media dismount has been queued.

ERROR_TIMEOUT

The time-out event expired while the application attempted to acquire one or more resources.

 

Remarks

An application must use the DismountNtmsMedia function to release the drive resource after the application has used the specified medium. Unreleased media cannot be used by other RSM sessions.

The DismountNtmsMedia function returns as soon as the operation is queued with RSM. The application can wait for the side state to become idle.
