Description:

The virtualization infrastructure driver has encountered an error. The requested partition does not exist. Restarting the virtual machine may fix the problem. If the problem persists, try restarting the physical computer.

STATUS_VID_PARTITION_DOES_NOT_EXIST

The VID partition object is gone

STATUS_VID_PARTITION_DOES_NOT_EXIST means the host-side partition object could not be found at the time of the operation.

This is a lifetime failure, not proof that the VM configuration file is missing. A partition can disappear because creation failed, teardown raced with another request, the worker process exited, or a stale handle/name was reused after a restart.

The requested VID partition object is no longer present when the operation reaches the host virtualization layer. Follow the partition lifetime around create, setup, reset, and delete events to find a race or stale reference; this status does not by itself mean the VM configuration file disappeared.

What to inspect

Correlate the failing call with partition create, setup, reset, and delete events.
Check for stale handles cached across VMMS or worker-process restarts.
Distinguish this from STATUS_VID_PARTITION_NAME_NOT_FOUND, where a lookup by name failed.
