2.2.4.32 NTMS_PMIDINFORMATIONW Structure

  • Article

The NTMS_PMIDINFORMATIONW structure describes the properties of a physical media object, as a sequence of Unicode characters.

 typedef struct _NTMS_PMIDINFORMATIONW {
   NTMS_GUID CurrentLibrary;
   NTMS_GUID MediaPool;
   NTMS_GUID Location;
   DWORD LocationType;
   NTMS_GUID MediaType;
   NTMS_GUID HomeSlot;
   [string] wchar_t szBarCode[64];
   DWORD BarCodeState;
   [string] wchar_t szSequenceNumber[32];
   DWORD MediaState;
   DWORD dwNumberOfPartitions;
   DWORD dwMediaTypeCode;
   DWORD dwDensityCode;
   NTMS_GUID MountedPartition;
 } NTMS_PMIDINFORMATIONW;

CurrentLibrary: The identifier of the library in which the medium is contained.

MediaPool: The identifier of the media pool to which the medium is assigned.

Location: The identifier of the physical location object for the medium.

LocationType: Any of the NTMS_STORAGESLOT, NTMS_DRIVE, or NTMS_IEPORT values defined in the NtmsObjectsTypes (section 2.2.1.6) enumeration, specifying the type of the current location for a piece of physical media.

MediaType: The identifier of the media type object for the medium.

HomeSlot: The identifier of the library storage slot in which the medium is stored.

szBarCode: The null-terminated bar code of the medium.

BarCodeState: The value from the NtmsBarCodeState (section 2.2.4.1) enumeration specifying the state of the bar code.

szSequenceNumber: Sequential number assigned to the specified medium as a human-readable value. This value MUST be transcribed by a user on the medium so it can be located in an offline library.

MediaState: The value from the NtmsMediaState (section 2.2.4.4) enumeration describing the state of the media.

dwNumberOfPartitions: The number of sides on the medium.

dwMediaTypeCode: The SCSI [ANSI-131-1994] type code of the medium.

dwDensityCode: The SCSI density code of the medium.

MountedPartition: The identifier of the media side that is currently mounted.
