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[Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, the Virtual Disk Service COM interface is superseded by the Windows Storage Management API.]

Returns the Volume Shadow Copy service (VSS) import target for the computer for this subsystem. Whenever shadow copies are created and a LUN from a shadow copy set from the subsystem is imported onto this computer, it will be associated with the import target by the VSS hardware provider.

Syntax

HRESULT GetImportTarget(
  [out] LPWSTR *ppwszIscsiName
);

Parameters

[out] ppwszIscsiName

The address of a pointer to a string. On successful return of this method, the string pointed to will contain the import target iSCSI name. This string is initialized by VDS and must be freed by the caller using the CoTaskMemFree function.

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.
