VDS_E_MIRROR_NOT_SUPPORTED

Mirror capability is a service/platform feature, not something that can be inferred from two healthy disks. VDS exposes VDS_SVF_SUPPORT_MIRROR as a service capability flag, and its volume-creation contract notes that fault-tolerant binding operations are not supported on all platforms. This HRESULT means the requested mirrored-volume operation is outside the supported configuration.

Why this state matters

Query the VDS service flags and record the operating-system edition and provider type. Do not troubleshoot disk size, stripe geometry, or free extents until mirror capability is established. Also keep legacy VDS dynamic-disk mirroring separate from Storage Spaces or hardware RAID: those technologies have different management objects and do not make a VDS mirror operation valid.

Diagnostic focus

  • Query VDS service capability flags for mirror support.
  • Record operating-system edition and the software provider handling the pack.
  • Confirm the application is actually using VDS dynamic volumes rather than Storage Spaces or hardware RAID.
  • Stop retrying mirror creation when the platform does not advertise the capability.
