HP Array Configuration Utility - Reverse Engineering

About

Trying to figure out which requests the HP ProLiant Array Configuration Utility for Windows 64-bit sends to my HP Smart Array P410 RAID Controller, so that I can script it to e.g. fetch disk alerts etc.

Heavily work in progress 🔥

Details

The ACU sends a couple of IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT IOCTLs with custom payloads on controller selection; this is received and handled by the HpSAMD.sys driver. So far cross-checking the payload format with the well-known Linux sources hasn't yielded any success; I assume when IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT is used, the payload isn't what 1:1 gets sent to the controller, unlike IOCTL_SCSI_PASS_THROUGH which isn't what the ACU uses. Next step might be trying to port over the Linux CCISS example requests to the Windows SCSI API by using IOCTL_SCSI_PASS_THROUGH to try if the controller then responds with the same packet structure as it would under Linux.
