devices shared by multiple nodes

NTDEV

Hi,

I have 5 scsi disks in my system all connected
to different ports. Two of the disks are shared
by another NT system. Now I programatically
want to find whether which all scsi ports in my
system are shared by other NT node(s);

Can it be found thru any ioctl to the scsi port?

thanks

I don’t think the SCSI port adapter knows whether a device is shared.
But you may be able to definitively ID each disk by sending a SCSI
inquiry command to each, requesting VPD page 0x83. Do this on both
systems, and you’ll know which disks are shared.
