3.1 Interfaces
All VDS interfaces that are listed in this section inherit the IUnknown interface. For all VDS interfaces, method opnum field values start with 3; opnum values 0, 1, and 2 represent the IUnknown::QueryInterface, IUnknown::AddRef, and IUnknown::Release methods, respectively. For more information, see [MS-DCOM] section 3.1.1.5.8.
The interfaces in this section are listed in the following order:
Generic object interfaces: Enumeration Object Interfaces (section 3.1.1) through Asynchronous Operation Object Interfaces (section 3.1.3).
Service object interfaces: Service Object Interfaces (section 3.1.5) through HBA Port Object Interfaces (section 3.1.6).
Provider interfaces: Provider Object Interfaces (section 3.1.9).
Pack interfaces: Pack Object Interfaces (section 3.1.11).
Disk interfaces: Disk Object Interfaces (section 3.1.12).
Volume interfaces: Volume Object Interfaces (section 3.1.13).
Volume plex interfaces: Volume Plex Object Interfaces (section 3.1.14).
This order reflects the logical hierarchy of objects in VDS. For more information, see section 3.4.1.
To retrieve the interfaces of a particular object, call the QueryInterface method on the DCOM IUnknown interfaces of the object as defined in [MS-DCOM] section 3.1.1.5.8.
Unless otherwise specified, all methods MUST return zero or a nonerror HRESULT (as specified in [MS-ERREF]) on success, or an implementation-specific nonzero error code on failure (see section 2.2.3 for more information on the HRESULT values predefined by the Virtual Disk Service Remote Protocol).
Unless otherwise specified, client implementations of this protocol MUST NOT take any action on an error code, but rather, return the error to the invoking application.
The set of required and optional interfaces is organized into five groups. Group 1 is the required set of interfaces. Groups 2 through 6 are optional sets of interfaces.<53>
If one interface from an optional group is implemented, all interfaces in that group MUST be implemented.
The groups form an additive set: Group 1 is required. If one interface from group 2 is implemented, all interfaces in group 1 and group 2 are implemented. If one interface from group 3 is implemented, that implies that all interfaces in groups 1, 2, and 3 are implemented.
