VDS_E_OBJECT_STATUS_FAILED

VDS_E_OBJECT_STATUS_FAILED is an object-state error. MS-VDS defines it as a component represented by the VDS object having failed and being unable to perform the requested operation. The format interface, for example, can return this code when the volume has failed.

Read status and health as separate VDS properties

VDS_VOLUME_PROP exposes both status and health, along with transition state and volume type. Those fields give more precise context than the HRESULT alone. A failed simple or spanned volume can have a different underlying disk condition from a failed mirror or RAID-5 volume.

What to verify

  • Query the object properties before attempting repair so status, health, transition state, and volume type are preserved.
  • Enumerate the associated disks or plexes and identify which component is missing, detached, or reporting write failures.
  • Do not treat a failed VDS object as a formatting precondition; recover the storage state and data protection requirements first.
