iSCSI driver

NTDEV
1

Hi,

I am planning to write an iSCSI driver on windows. I have already
written it on linux.

Can anyone please guide me in getting SCSI model/architecture for win 2000.

Thanks in advance.

Full storage port. Just support IRP_MJ_SCSI and also - better -
IOCTL_SCSI_PASS_THROUGH(_DIRECT).

Also you must be a bus driver for the LUNs.

Look at Disk/ClassPnP code in the DDK - it is what is sitting directly
above the storage port.

Here is an overview:

You should ask microsoft for access to the iSCSI DDK. xxxxx@microsoft.com

There is no need for a software only initiator as it comes with the OS.
iSCSI targets are another matter. I believe that Longhorn server will
include a software only target.

To best of my knowledge Longhorn Server will not include the iSCSI Software
Target. That is available as an add on to Windows Storage Server 2003 and
for future versions of Windows Storage Server.

Hi Vinay,

The MS iSCSI initiator allows control with command line app, scripting, etc.
And it’s free.
So you probably could use it for your custom purposes.

Also there is an iSCSi initiator module in RDS StarPort Storage Controller
for Windows.

Best regards,
Valeriy Glushkov

Thanks for the response. I am learning windows device drivers ( WDM)
and wanting to write a device driver. So, thought of starting with
iSCSI driver as I have written it on linux ( which I am good at ).
