Return code/value | Description |
---|---|
|
The operation was successful. |
|
The hardDiskConnection parameter is NULL. |
|
A hardDiskPath parameter is NULL or the busNumber or deviceNumber parameter is not valid. |
|
The system cannot find the file specified by the hardDiskPath parameter. |
|
The system cannot find the path specified by the hardDiskPath parameter. |
|
The hardDiskPath parameter contains an invalid character (one of "*?<>/|":"). |
|
The hardDiskPath parameter specifies an empty or relative path. An absolute path is required. |
|
The path specified by the hardDiskPath parameter is too long. The path must be less than 260 characters. |
|
The configuration is unknown. |
|
The VM is in a running or saved state. |
|
The specified bus location is in use. |
|
The VHD is greater than 127 GB and cannot be connected to the IDE bus. |
|
The hardDiskPath parameter refers to a linked VHD or a differencing VHD to a linked VHD. Linked VHDs cannot be attached to virtual machines. |
|
The specified VHD is already connected to another bus location for this VM. |
|
An unexpected error has occurred. |
Remarks
You can only add a new hard disk connection to a stopped virtual machine.
