Lower filter driver for miniport drivers

Hi,
Is it possible to intercept IRPs after they have been processed by miniport
dirvers? I am interested in grabbing and analysing FCP packets generated by
the by FC-HBA drivers.
Any thoughts on this issue is welcome.

thanx
pash

The miniport talks directly to the hardware, so there is no place to insert
another driver, unless you can modify the miniport itself.

You can, of course, get a FC analyzer to look at what is on the wire.

I understand these FC analyzers are firmware based and would be present on
SAN interconnect devices or be part of FC-HBA drivers.
There is no way third party can develop such tools or SAN monitoring
tools.???

I don’t believe there is a generic way for a third party to put software on NT/2000 to
monitor a FC Network, either for all packets or only packets to/from
the machine itself. There might be vendor specific ways of doing that, but
it would depend on the miniport driver and on the HBA itself.
