VDS_STORAGE_BUS_TYPE enumeration (vdslun.h)

[Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, the Virtual Disk Service COM interface is superseded by the Windows Storage Management API.]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 bus types of a storage device.

Remarks

The VDS_LUN_INFORMATION, VDS_DISK_PROP, VDS_DISK_PROP2, and VDS_DRIVE_PROP2 structures include a VDS_STORAGE_BUS_TYPE value as a member to specify the bus type of a LUN, disk, or drive.

Note  The type specified in these structures matches the type that the driver or drivers reported and may not exactly match the hardware.

 

Note  Additional constants might be added to the VDS_STORAGE_BUS_TYPE enumeration in future Windows versions. For this reason, your application must be designed to gracefully handle an unrecognized VDS_STORAGE_BUS_TYPE enumeration constant.
