VDS_E_NO_IMPORT_TARGET
This HRESULT belongs to a subsystem-level import configuration path. The published VDS error text states that no import target is set for the subsystem in the registry. It should not be treated as a foreign-disk discovery failure or as evidence that the disks themselves are corrupt. The missing prerequisite is the selected destination for an import operation.
Why this state matters
VDS models subsystems and providers separately from disk packs. A management application should identify the hardware subsystem involved and inspect the configured import-target policy before initiating the import. Repeatedly refreshing the disk list cannot create the missing target configuration; the storage subsystem must expose or be assigned the correct import destination through its supported management path.
Diagnostic focus
- Capture the subsystem and provider identifiers used by the import operation.
- Confirm that the intended import target is configured for that subsystem rather than assuming a global machine-wide target.
- Check provider and subsystem configuration changes made before the first failure, including migration or replacement of storage hardware.
- Do not reinterpret the status as
VDS_E_IMPORT_SET_INCOMPLETE; one concerns target configuration, the other the selected foreign-disk set.
