VDS_HBAPORT_TYPE enumeration (vdshwprv.h)

  • Article

[Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, the Virtual Disk Service COM interface is superseded by the Windows Storage Management API.]

Defines the set of valid types for an HBA port. These types correspond to the HBA_PORTTYPE values in the HBA API.

Syntax

typedef enum _VDS_HBAPORT_TYPE {
  VDS_HPT_UNKNOWN = 1,
  VDS_HPT_OTHER = 2,
  VDS_HPT_NOTPRESENT = 3,
  VDS_HPT_NPORT = 5,
  VDS_HPT_NLPORT = 6,
  VDS_HPT_FLPORT = 7,
  VDS_HPT_FPORT = 8,
  VDS_HPT_EPORT = 9,
  VDS_HPT_GPORT = 10,
  VDS_HPT_LPORT = 20,
  VDS_HPT_PTP = 21
} VDS_HBAPORT_TYPE;
