What driver should I open in user level to send IOCTL to the SCSI mini port ?

Hi

I'd like to identify the SCSI HDD's that are attached to my Adaptec RAID
controller. Maybe using IOCTL_SCSI_PASS_THROUGH to the driver I could do
that.

Thank you

Enumerate the SCSI HDDs you have connected using a GUID such as
GUID_DEVINTERFACE_DISK, open a handle to the one you want and send the IOCTL
to the drive. It has to go down to the miniport and the miniport will
intercept it, if it handles pass through.

Thank you.

This is the enumeration of the scsi disk (found by WMI):

instance of Win32_PnPEntity
{
Caption = "Disk drive";
ClassGuid = "{4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}";
ConfigManagerErrorCode = 0;
ConfigManagerUserConfig = FALSE;
CreationClassName = "Win32_PnPEntity";
Description = "Disk drive";
DeviceID = "SCSI\\DISK&VEN_ADAPTEC&PROD_ARRAY&REV_V1.0\\6&1202EE51&0&400";
Manufacturer = "(Standard disk drives)";
Name = "Disk drive";
PNPDeviceID =
"SCSI\\DISK&VEN_ADAPTEC&PROD_ARRAY&REV_V1.0\\6&1202EE51&0&400";
Service = "disk";
Status = "OK";
SystemCreationClassName = "Win32_ComputerSystem";
SystemName = "XXXXXX";
};

And this of the raid adapter:

instance of Win32_PnPEntity
{
Caption = "Adaptec SCSI RAID Management Device";
ClassGuid = "{4D36E97D-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}";
ConfigManagerErrorCode = 0;
ConfigManagerUserConfig = FALSE;
CreationClassName = "Win32_PnPEntity";
Description = "Adaptec SCSI RAID Management Device";
DeviceID =
"SCSI\\PROCESSOR&VEN_ADAPTEC&PROD_MANAGEMENT&REV_V1.0\\6&1202EE51&0&500";
Manufacturer = "Adaptec";
Name = "Adaptec SCSI RAID Management Device";
PNPDeviceID =
"SCSI\\PROCESSOR&VEN_ADAPTEC&PROD_MANAGEMENT&REV_V1.0\\6&1202EE51&0&500";
Status = "OK";
SystemCreationClassName = "Win32_ComputerSystem";
SystemName = "XXXXXX";
};

How I can find the string to pass to the CreateFile function ? Do you have
some tip ?


Thank you again ...

However be prepared for the RAID controller not to process vendor-specific
commands to its RAID volumes. There is no defined method of accessing
individual devices behind a hardware RAID set ... if the vendor miniport
provides one that's fine but it's a vendor specific mechanism.

most RAID controllers aren't going to like the idea of you sending arbitrary
commands to individual disks and potentially screwing up the state the
controller maintains.

I'd like to only know the number of disks and disks data like name, serial
number ...
There is no way to do this ? Even the RAID controller being a SCSI ?

Forget. I've found the solution to knowing a GUID, open the device driver !
Thank you

You will be able to enumerate the logical disks presented by the raid
controller, not the physical disks providing the redundant storage of the
raid controller. The LUNs will operate like standard scsi disk target/luns.
The rest is vendor specific.
