VDS_E_NOT_SUPPORTED

VDS_E_NOT_SUPPORTED means that the requested operation is outside the capabilities exposed by the selected Virtual Disk Service (VDS) object or storage provider. It does not by itself prove that the disk is damaged or that the same operation is unavailable through every storage-management API.

What to check

Confirm the exact object on which the method was called: a disk, volume, pack, provider, or another VDS object can expose different operations.
Check the provider type and the disk layout before assuming a feature such as conversion, extension, mirroring, or path management is supported.
For newer deployments, remember that VDS is a legacy interface; do not silently substitute a different API without confirming equivalent semantics.
