STATUS_HV_OPERATION_DENIED
The operation is prohibited even though the basic identifiers may be valid
STATUS_HV_OPERATION_DENIED is a state or policy denial at the Hyper-V operation level. It differs from STATUS_HV_ACCESS_DENIED, which is about partition privilege, and from STATUS_HV_INVALID_PARAMETER, which is about an invalid input field. The hypervisor recognized the request but does not permit it in the present context.
Use the API-specific state model to locate the prohibition. An operation can be legal before activation but locked after activation, or legal only for the partition that created an object. Altering an identifier or reissuing the call in a tight loop does not change that state relationship.
What to inspect
- The exact operation, target object, partition state and caller role.
- Whether configuration has become locked by activation or execution.
- Ownership of any target object and the originating management partition.
- Ordering between the denied request and nearby start, pause, save, restore, or teardown operations.
