Scsi Port Filter driver

Hi all,
I have developed a filter driver which layers itself between the SCSI
port driver and the Disk/class driver for NT4.0. The driver loads
properly, but it does not receive any IRPs other than the ones with the
IOCTL_SCSI_GET_INQUIRY_DATA, IOCTL_SCSI_GET_CAPABILITIES and
IOCTL_SCSI_RESCAN_BUS and the CREATE and CLOSE calls. I need help to
figure out why this happens. Is there any documentation about filter
drivers which layer between the SCSI class driver and the port driver ?
Thanks in advance,
Unni

They don't use the disk/class/port driver mechanisms at all. Your filter
won't work with those devices. Most notably, fibre channel drivers. There
are a few companies with miniports for their cards, but most are now
monolithic for performance reasons (there's a 10-15% penalty for using a
miniport).
See appendix A, part 2 (Designing SCSI Filter drivers) of the kernel mode
drivers design guide for pretty complete information re: scsi filter drivers
and how to implement them.

I have not been able to receive the IRP_MJ_SCSI commands in my filter
driver. But the OSR book mentions about filter driver being able to receive
all commands. Is there any flag setting required ?
Thanks in advance,
Unni

www.osr.com and make sure that your driver is correctly filtering what you
think your filtering. Second, I would make sure that you've loaded
correctly. I assume that you are loading as part of SCSI CLASS group and
are the first driver in the group to be loaded (in the same boot phase as
the scsi class drivers). Then I would make sure that you are correctly
attaching to SCSIPORT0 through SCSIPORTN.
Finally, if none of the above help, then maybe you need to post your driver
entry code so that people can look at it.
