ValidateVirtualHardDisk method of the Msvm_ImageManagementService class
Validates whether a virtual disk image can be opened in read-only mode.
Syntax
uint32 ValidateVirtualHardDisk( [in] string Path, [out] CIM_ConcreteJob REF Job );
Parameters
- Path [in]
-
Type: string
A fully qualified path that specifies the location of the disk image file.
- Job [out]
-
Type: CIM_ConcreteJob
A reference to the job (can be null if the task is completed successfully).
Return value
Type: uint32
This method can return one of the following values.
- Completed with No Error (0)
- Method Parameters Checked - JobStarted (4096)
- Failed (32768)
- Access Denied (32769)
- Not Supported (32770)
- Status is unknown (32771)
- Timeout (32772)
- Invalid parameter (32773)
- System is in use (32774)
- Invalid state for this operation (32775)
- Incorrect data type (32776)
- System is not available (32777)
- Out of memory (32778)
- File Not Found (32779)
Remarks
If the virtual hard disk is a differencing disk, the entire virtual disk chain is opened. If the link is broken in the disk chain, a job object is returned with the appropriate error initialized and the child and parent properties are initialized to the location where the link is broken.
Access to the Msvm_ImageManagementService class might be restricted by UAC Filtering. For more information, see User Account Control and WMI.
Examples
The following C# example validates a virtual hard disk image. The referenced utilities can be found in Common Utilities for the Virtualization Samples.
using System; using System.Management; namespace HyperVSamples { class ValidateVHD { static void ValidateVirtualHardDisk(string vhdPath) { ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope(@"root\virtualization", null); ManagementObject imageService = Utility.GetServiceObject(scope, "Msvm_ImageManagementService"); ManagementBaseObject inParams = imageService.GetMethodParameters("ValidateVirtualHardDisk"); inParams["Path"] = vhdPath; ManagementBaseObject outParams = imageService.InvokeMethod("ValidateVirtualHardDisk", inParams, null); if ((UInt32)outParams["ReturnValue"] == ReturnCode.Started) { if (Utility.JobCompleted(outParams, scope)) { Console.WriteLine("{0} is a valid virtual hard disk.", inParams["Path"]); } else { Console.WriteLine("Unable to validate {0}", inParams["Path"]); } } inParams.Dispose(); outParams.Dispose(); imageService.Dispose(); } static void Main(string[] args) { if (args != null && args.Length != 1) { Console.WriteLine("Usage: ValidateVHD vhdPath"); return; } ValidateVirtualHardDisk(args[0]); } } }
The following VBScript example validates a virtual hard disk image.
