RE: How to make NT create \Device\Harddiskx for the new d etected scsi devices

The IOCTL_DISK_FIND_NEW_DEVICES sent to \Device\Harddisk0\Partition0 does
the trick for simple volumes.
Then FT_CONFIGURE ioctl to \Device\FtControl can be required to detect
volume sets.
Assigning drive letters is a another story…

Subject: [ntdev] How to make NT create \Device\Harddiskx for
the new detected scsi devices

Hi, I am having trouble of forcing NT to create
\Device\Harddiskx and PhysicalDrivex for new scsi logical
disks detected through IOCTL_SCSI_RESCAN_BUS. On W2k, I can
simply use CM_Locate_DevNode(&devInst, NULL,
CM_LOCATE_DEVNODE_NORMAL) and CM_Reenumerate_DevNode(devInst,
0) to force W2k to scan, and enumerate and create device
objects \Device\HarddiskVolumex\ for the new discovered
logical disks without running Disk Management. But on NT, is
there a similar Ioctl calls that I can use which will do the
same thing without running windisk? Thanks!!
