Operations at VirtualDiskManagement

This page describes the backend methods at this endpoint.

Signature	Description
String BaseFileName(String id)	Gets VHD base file name.
Void BeginBatch(String id, String target)	Begins batch.
Void Close(String id)	Closes VHD.
Guid Create(String path, String bytesCapacity, String bytesPerSector, String containsBootSystemVolume, String preallocate)	Creates VHD.
Void Delete(String id, String target)	Deletes VHD snapshot or base file.
Void EndBatch(String id)	Ends batch.
Guid GetVirtualDiskFromTask(String taskId)	Retrieves a disk identifier based on the identifier of the task that created the disk. If disk is not yet created, returns empty identifier
Boolean HasSnapshot(String id)	Verifies VHD has snapshot.
Guid Open(String path)	Opens VHD.
Void Read(String id, String target, String sectorOffset, String sectorLength, Stream stream)	Reads raw data from VHD.
String ReadCustomMetadata(CustomMetadataDescriptor customMetadataDescriptor)	Reads a user-defined custom metadata string.
UInt64 SectorSize(String id)	Gets sector size of the VHD.
String SnapshotFileName(String id)	Gets VHD snapshot file name.
Guid StartCreateVirtualDiskTask(String path, String bytesCapacity, String bytesPerSector, String containsBootSystemVolume, String preallocate)	Starts a task which creates a VHD. Returns the task identifier, not the disk identifier. Use GetVirtualDiskFromTask() method to get the actual created disk
Void TakeSnapshot(String id)	Takes VHD snapshot.
UInt64 TotalSectorCapacity(String id)	Gets VHD capacity.
String TranslateSectorOffsetToChsTuple(String id, String sectorOffset)	Translates sector offset to chs tuple.
Void Write(String id, String target, String sectorOffset, String sectorLength, Stream stream)	Writes raw data to VHD.
Void WriteCustomMetadata(String value, CustomMetadataDescriptor customMetadataDescriptor)	Writes a user-defined custom metadata string.
Void WriteStream(String id, String target, Stream stream)	Writes blocks of raw data to VHD.
