2021-03-03

Creates a reference point of a virtual system.

Syntax

uint32 CreateReferencePoint(
  [in]      Msvm_ComputerSystem              REF AffectedSystem,
  [in]      string                               ReferencePointSettings,
  [in]      uint16                               ReferencePointType,
  [in, out] Msvm_VirtualSystemReferencePoint REF ResultingReferencePoint,
  [out]     CIM_ConcreteJob                  REF Job
);

Parameters

AffectedSystem [in]: A Msvm_ComputerSystem that references the affected virtual system.
ReferencePointSettings [in]: Contains the parameter settings.
ReferencePointType [in]: Requested reference point type:
Log based (0): Based on Hyper-V replica log tracking.
RCT based (1): Based on Resilient Change Tracking of virtual disks.

ResultingReferencePoint [in, out]

Resulting virtual system reference point

Job [out]

If the operation is long running, then optionally a job may be returned. In this case, the instance of the Msvm_VirtualSystemReferencePoint class representing the new virtual system reference point is presented via the CIM_AffectedJobElement association with the value of the AffectedElement property referring to the new instance of the Msvm_VirtualSystemReferencePoint class representing the virtual system reference point and the value of the ElementEffects set to 5 (Create).

Return value

On success, returns 0; otherwise, returns an error.
