Hi Folks,
I am trying to write application through which I can access SCSI block
devices (SCSI disk) by using SCSI device interface.
I have gone through sample codes available on apple site. But this code is
not working for the "Peripheral Device Type" = 0x00 which is a Direct Access
Block device. This code is working fine with "Peripheral Device Type "=
0x03.
When I specify Peripheral Device Type = 0x00, the code is able to recognize
the devices but not able to find the appropriate device interface to open
the connection with the device for sending the commands.
Code is failing in function IOCreatePlugInInterfaceForService (service,
kIOSCSITaskDeviceUserClientID, kIOCFPlugInInterfaceID, &score);
This function gives me following error:
IOCreatePlugInInterfaceForService returned -536870201.
When I run this sample code with changes it is showing me the following
output:
Device appeared. 0
Found device class "IOSCSILogicalUnitNub" using STUC.
*********** Requesting Inquiry Data ***********
taskStatus = 0, transferCountHi = 0x00000000, transferCountLo = 0x00000024
*********** INQUIRY DATA ***********
Peripheral Device Type = 3
Removable Media Bit = 0
Vendor Identification = CNSi
Product Identification = R2500:A
Product Revision Level = D114
taskStatus = 0
Good Status
Device appeared. 1
Found device class "IOSCSILogicalUnitNub" using STUC.
IOCreatePlugInInterfaceForService returned -536870201
Device appeared. 2
Found device class "IOSCSILogicalUnitNub" using STUC.
IOCreatePlugInInterfaceForService returned -536870201
Device appeared. 3
Found device class "IOSCSILogicalUnitNub" using STUC.
IOCreatePlugInInterfaceForService returned -536870201
Device appeared. 4
Please suggest how I should specify the correct device interface; so that I
will be able to perform "Inquiry" command onto the underneath SCSI block
devices using the device interface mechanism in user space application.
Thanks & Regards,
Yogesh
