Returns the hardware provider that manages the storage pool.

Syntax

HRESULT GetProvider(
  [out] IVdsProvider **ppProvider

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.
