[MS-VDS]: Virtual Disk Service (VDS) Protocol Specification

•Return an HRESULT indicating failure or success. Any errors encountered up through this point inprocessing the operation are returned in this HRESULT.The server MUST perform the following. Errors generated in this sequence of steps are returned inthe pHrResult parameter to the IVdsAsync::Wait or IVdsAsyncQueryStatus methods.•Attempt to get exclusive access to the volume. If the server fails to get exclusive access to thevolume, and the bForce parameter is not set to a non-zero value, then the server MUST returnVDS_E_DEVICE_IN_USE.•If the operating system is unable to format the device by using the file system type that isspecified using the type parameter, then this method MUST returnVDS_E_INCOMPATIBLE_FILE_SYSTEM.•If the target device\media is write-protected, then this method MUST returnVDS_E_MEDIA_WRITE_PROTECTED.•If the pwszLabel parameter is incompatible with the file system type specified using the typeparameter, then the server MUST return VDS_E_BAD_LABEL.•If the specified file system type does not support quick formatting, then the server MUST returnVDS_E_CANT_QUICK_FORMAT.•If the specified file system type has a minimum volume size requirement, and that requirement isnot met, then the server MUST return VDS_E_VOLUME_TOO_SMALL.•If the specified file system type has a maximum volume size requirement, and that requirementis not met, then the server MUST return VDS_E_VOLUME_TOO_BIG.•If the specified file system type has a minimum or maximum cluster size requirement, and thatrequirement is not met, then the server MUST return VDS_E_CLUSTER_SIZE_TOO_SMALL orVDS_E_CLUSTER_SIZE_TOO_BIG, respectively.•If the specified file system type has a maximum cluster count requirement, and that requirementis not met, then the server MUST return VDS_E_CLUSTER_COUNT_BEYOND_32BITS.The server MUST update the percentage completed value periodically during the following sequence,and send progress notifications to all clients. How often the percentage completed is updated, and atwhat point in the sequence, is implementation specific. To send progress notifications to the clients:•For each callback object registered in the list of callback objects, call the callback object'sIVdsAdviseSink::OnNotify (Opnum 3) method with a VDS_NOTIFICATION structure with thefollowing attributes:•objectType member is VDS_NTT_FILE_SYSTEM.•FileSystem member is a VDS_FILE_SYSTEM_NOTIFICATION with the followingattributes:•ulEvent is VDS_NF_FILE_SYSTEM_FORMAT_PROGRESS.•volumeId is the VDS_OBJECT_ID of the volume object•dwPercentCompleted is the percentage completed value.The server MUST then perform the following in sequence:•Format the volume following the parameters specified to the method.[MS-VDS] — v20110610Virtual Disk Service (VDS) Protocol SpecificationCopyright © 2011 Microsoft Corporation.Release: Friday, June 10, 2011258 / 360
