Return value
This method can return standard HRESULT values, such as E_INVALIDARG or E_OUTOFMEMORY, and VDS-specific return values. It can also return converted system error codes using the HRESULT_FROM_WIN32 macro. Errors can originate from VDS itself or from the underlying VDS provider that is being used. Possible return values include the following.
| Return code/value | Description |
|---|---|
|
The method completed successfully. |

Another dynamic pack exists with VDS_PS_ONLINE status. Only one dynamic pack can have this status at a time. |
Remarks
Use this method to create a pack before calling the IVdsPack::MigrateDisks method to convert disk formatting. When converting a basic disk to dynamic format, pass either a new or existing pack as an argument to MigrateDisks. When converting a dynamic disk to basic format, use CreatePack to create a new, individual pack to hold the basic disk.
