This question may only be answered by a Windows Server 2003 SCSI fibre
channel driver developer.
We are a SCSI fibre channel target device, and noticed that specifically
Windows Server 2003 x64 SCSI fibre channel drivers do not respond to a device
check condition, with a SCSI "request sense" command.
We believe that the x64 driver expects the target device to support
"auto-sense". Since we are returning no sense data with the check condition,
we expect the host to understand this as a SCSI device with no "auto-sense"
support and must harvest the check condition sense data with a SCSI request
sense command.
Finally, the question.
Does Windows Server 2003 SCSI fibre channel x64 driver require target
devices to support "auto-sense"?
We are moving ahead to support the "auto-sense" capability, but would still
like to determine if Microsoft has determined that this is required on all
x64 SCSI fiber channel target devices.
