3.2.6.1 Disk Arrival

  • Article

When the operating system notifies the server of a new disk connected to the system, the server MUST add a new object to the list of storage objects. A unique identifier MUST be associated with the new object. The LastKnownState field of the object MUST be initialized with a value at the server's discretion. The server MUST then send a notification of type DMNOTIFY_DISK_INFO with action LDMACTION_CREATED to all clients currently registered for notifications.

Then the server MUST enumerate all the regions that reside on the disk, reevaluate the status of the volumes that use those regions (together with their drive letters and file systems), make appropriate changes to the list of storage objects, and send notifications to all clients currently registered for notifications.
