GetSystemCompatibilityInfo method of the Msvm_VirtualSystemManagementService class

Generates an opaque BLOB of data that contains compatibility information for the specified system.

Syntax

uint32 GetSystemCompatibilityInfo(
  [in]  CIM_ComputerSystem REF ComputerSystem,
  [out] uint8                  CompatibilityInfo[]
);

Parameters

ComputerSystem [in]

Type: CIM_ComputerSystem

A reference to a CIM_ComputerSystem class that represents the VM to retrieve compatibility information. If the ComputerSystem parameter refers to the hosting computer system, the data returned in the CompatibilityInfo parameter can be used to determine whether any of the VMs on the hosting computer system can be quickly migrated to another hosting computer system.

CompatibilityInfo [out]

Type: uint8[]

An opaque blob of data that can be passed to the CheckSystemCompatibilityInfo method on another hosting computer system to confirm compatibility.

Return value

Type: uint32

This method returns one of the following values.

Return code/value Description
Completed with No Error
0
The operation completed with no error.
Method Parameters Checked - Job Started
4096
The system has started.
Failed
32768
The operation failed.
Access Denied
32769
The user does not have the permissions required to complete this operation.
Not Supported
32770
The operation is not supported.

The operation failed due to an unknown status.
Timeout
32772
The operation did not complete due to a time-out.
Invalid parameter
32773
The operation did not complete due to a parameter that is not valid.
System is in use
32774
The operation did not complete because a required service is in use.
Invalid state for this operation
32775
The system represented by the ComputerSystem parameter is in a transitional state (for example, Starting, Stopping, Saving) or a snapshot operation is in progress. Please wait for the operation to complete and call the GetSystemCompatibilityInfo method again.
Incorrect data type
32776
The operation failed due to an incorrect data type.
System is not available
32777
The operation failed because a required system service is not available.
Out of memory
32778
The operation did not complete because there is insufficient memory available.

Remarks

The GetSystemCompatibilityInfo method is used in conjunction with CheckSystemCompatibilityInfo to determine whether a quick or live migration of a VM to another hosting computer system is possible without first trying the migration. The compatibility information is dependent on the current EnabledState property of the system specified in the ComputerSystem parameter. In addition, the compatibility information for a VM may change when a snapshot is applied or the system is restarted. A VM in the Disabled state (EnabledState property value of 3) is compatible with more systems than one in the Suspended or Enabled states (EnabledState property value of 32769 or 2.)
