Eliyas:

How do you talk to a RAID miniport? Specifically to get
the status of the drives masked by the driver.

Samples/specs/IOCTL's/structures unique to RAIDS greatly
appreciated.

Regards,
Jorg

I'm not certain of this, but I strongly suspect that there is no
standard for 'talking to the raid controller', that instead both the
mechanism and the protocol is vendor specific.
