The NTMS_PMIDINFORMATIONA structure describes the properties of a physical media object, as a sequence of ASCII characters.

 typedef struct _NTMS_PMIDINFORMATIONA {
   NTMS_GUID CurrentLibrary;
   NTMS_GUID MediaPool;
   NTMS_GUID Location;
   DWORD LocationType;
   NTMS_GUID MediaType;
   NTMS_GUID HomeSlot;
   char szBarCode[64];
   DWORD BarCodeState;
   char szSequenceNumber[32];
   DWORD MediaState;
   DWORD dwNumberOfPartitions;
   DWORD dwMediaTypeCode;
   DWORD dwDensityCode;
   NTMS_GUID MountedPartition;
 } NTMS_PMIDINFORMATIONA;

CurrentLibrary: The identifier of the library in which the media is contained.

MediaPool: The identifier of the media pool to which the media is assigned.

Location: The identifier of the physical location object for the media.

LocationType: Any of the NTMS_STORAGESLOT, NTMS_DRIVE, or NTMS_IEPORT values defined in the NtmsObjectsTypes (section 2.2.1.6) enumeration, specifying the type of the current location for a piece of physical media.

MediaType: The identifier of the media type object for the medium.

HomeSlot: The identifier of the library storage slot in which the medium is stored.

szBarCode: The null-terminated Unicode string specifying the numeric value of the bar code of the media. If the bar code is not available, BarCodeState MUST be set to NTMS_BARCODESTATE_UNREADABLE. For more information, see section 2.2.4.1.

BarCodeState: A value from the NtmsBarCodeState (section 2.2.4.1) enumeration specifying the state of the bar code.

szSequenceNumber: A sequential number assigned to the specified medium as a human-readable value.

MediaState: The value from the NtmsMediaState (section 2.2.4.4) enumeration describing the state of the media.

dwNumberOfPartitions: The number of sides on the medium.

dwMediaTypeCode: The SCSI [ANSI-131-1994] type code of the medium.

dwDensityCode: The SCSI density code of the medium.

MountedPartition: The identifier of the media side that is currently mounted.
