VDS Reference
[Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, the Virtual Disk Service COM interface is superseded by the Windows Storage Management API.]
This section describes the application programming interface to the Virtual Disk Service (VDS).
Application developers use the interfaces, structures, enumerations, and symbolic constants in this API to query and configure storage—from disks to storage arrays. For a detailed look at the relationship among VDS types, see the VDS Object Model.
Storage manufacturers implement many of the interfaces defined in this section.
