VID could not resolve the partition name

STATUS_VID_PARTITION_NAME_NOT_FOUND is a name lookup failure in the host virtualization namespace. The named partition is not available to the caller even if a VM with a similar display name exists in management tools.

Differentiate it from STATUS_VID_PARTITION_DOES_NOT_EXIST: name-not-found emphasizes the lookup key, while does-not-exist can also appear when a previously valid object disappeared during its lifecycle.

VID could not resolve the supplied partition name to a host partition object. Log the exact lookup key and compare it with the name used at creation, because imported configuration or regenerated identifiers can diverge from the friendly VM name displayed by management tools.

What to inspect

Log the exact internal partition name, VM ID, and host that performed the lookup.
Check VM import, failover, or migration steps that may have changed generated IDs.
Verify the request is running in the same host context that owns the partition namespace.
