docking operation

Hi, guys, in Windows 2000 DDK, under the following
subject

2.1.2 SCSI Miniport Initialization Under Plug and Play

There is a paragraph says:

“Later, when the Plug and Play Manager detects an HBA
for the miniport, it notifies the port driver. The
port driver allocates the necessary system resources
(such as memory for the miniport’s device extension)
and calls the miniport to find the HBA and then to
initialize it. This usually happens during system
startup, but it might also happen when the system
detects a docking operation or when an HBA such as a
PCMCIA card is hot-plugged into the system.”

My question is what is the exact meaning of docking
operation. Does that mean delay? In my project I just
want to hook this initialization and delay it until my
user land service starts up. Is that possible?

Thanks.

Notebook plugged to a docking station with a HBA in it.

user land service starts up. Is that possible?

By writing a full SCSI port driver. Then report zero LUNs, and, when
user service will initialize, request the bus rescan and report the
real LUNs.
