VDS_E_LUN_DISK_NO_MEDIA

VDS_E_LUN_DISK_NO_MEDIA indicates VDS_DS_NO_MEDIA on the host disk object during a LUN shrink workflow. This state is normally associated with removable or media-dependent devices and is incompatible with safely reducing the backing LUN.

Verify the LUN-to-disk mapping

  • Confirm that the selected LUN maps to the intended local disk object.
  • Read device type, media type, size and device path from disk properties.
  • Re-enumerate after media insertion or path recovery before retrying.

Do not interpret zero visible partitions as proof that the LUN can be shrunk. A no-media disk cannot provide reliable geometry or filesystem coordination. If the mapping unexpectedly points to removable media, treat that as a provider or selection error rather than forcing the operation.
