VDS_S_DEFAULT_PLEX_MEMBER_IDS

This success code is about topology identifiers, not disk discovery. VDS models a volume as one or more plexes and each plex as members or extents. When imported or reconstructed metadata does not provide explicit member or plex IDs in the expected form, VDS can continue using defaults. The resulting topology can still be usable, but a diagnostic tool must not assume that original identifiers were preserved verbatim.

Why this state matters

Requery the volume and enumerate its plexes after the operation. Use current VDS object GUIDs, plex properties, member ordering, and extent locations as the authoritative topology. If software keeps a private mapping from old identifiers to disks, verify that mapping before issuing repair or remove-plex operations. A successful defaulting warning is specifically a reason to refresh cached identity data.
