3.2.4.4.1.35 IVolumeClient::InitializeDisk (Opnum 39)
The InitializeDisk method converts an uninitialized disk into a dynamic disk. This is a synchronous task.
-
HRESULT InitializeDisk( [in] LdmObjectId diskId, [in] hyper diskLastKnownState, [out] TASK_INFO* tinfo );
diskId: Specifies the OID of the disk to initialize.
diskLastKnownState: Disk's last known modification sequence number.
tinfo: Pointer to a TASK_INFO structure that the client can use to track the request's progress.
Return Values: The method MUST return 0 or a nonerror HRESULT on success, or an implementation-specific nonzero error code on failure (as specified in [MS-ERREF]; see also section 2.2.1 for HRESULT values predefined by the Disk Management Remote Protocol).
Upon receiving this message, the server MUST validate parameters:
Verify that the disk specified by diskId is in the list of storage objects and check whether diskLastKnownState matches the LastKnownState field of the object.
Verify that tinfo is not NULL.
If parameter validation fails, the server MUST fail the operation immediately, returning an appropriate error as its response to the client.
Otherwise, the server MUST process the message as follows:
Initialize the disk specified by diskId with an empty MBR partition table and write an MBR signature to it.
If successful, convert the disk to a dynamic disk.
Wait for the conversion to either succeed or fail.
Fill in the tinfo output parameter.
TASK_INFO member
Required for this operation
TASK_INFO::id
Required.
TASK_INFO::storageId
Not required.
TASK_INFO::createTime
Not required.<128>
TASK_INFO::clientID
Not required.<129>
TASK_INFO::percentComplete
Required for any task that returns REQ_IN_PROGRESS.
TASK_INFO::status
Required.
TASK_INFO::type
Required if PercentageComplete is being used.
TASK_INFO::error

Return a response to the client containing tinfo and the status of the operation.
Send the task completion notification.
If the operation is successful, the server MUST make the following changes to the list of storage objects before returning the response:
Modify the disk object to account for the change in type.
Delete disk region objects residing on the uninitialized disk.<131>
Create disk region objects residing on the dynamic disk.
