#1 | storport for Windows 2003 with SMART support datum

Fri Apr 30, 2021 4:41 pm (Last edited: Fri Apr 30, 2021 4:42 pm)

Hi to all developers,

we, as many others, wondered why there is no SMART support on Windows 2003 Server with storport AHCI drivers like StorAhci. For us it was time to investigate into this topic lately. The results have been uploaded to Sourceforge with some example source code for demonstration. This should be a resource to every interested developer out there.

Today we released two patched versions of the storport driver for Windows 2003. The first version patches the storport driver of the leaked Windows Server 2003 source code archive. The second version patches storport of Windows 7 and uses it in combination with ntoskrn7.sys, which is sort of a self compiled extender library for ntoskrnl.exe to add support for missing functions called by Windows 7 storport.

Because there is a limitation on posting external links for new users we replaced the https with hxxps.

To download the files and the ReadMe go to hxxps://sourceforge.net/projects/storpor...-support/files/
If you are interested in the reversing process visit hxxps://storport-win2003-smart-support.sourceforge.io/

We hope this will be a valuable resource to you all. Have fun!

@schtrom:
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum! I got to know you already as developer of an Openfabrics Alliance NVMe driver for W2k3.
Since Windows 2003 is an outdated Operating System, I have moved your contribution into this Sub-Forum about XP/W2k/W2k3.
Enjoy the Forum!

Thanks Fernando! I enjoyed the forum threads on Win-Raid, especially the Windows 2003 / XP on newer hardware thread. I am a passive reader for many years now. Keep up the brilliant work and thanks for the move into the right sub-forum.

Thank you for fixing it and writing such an extensive and thorough step-by-step guide, Kai!

While you're at it, there are still 2 issues with storahci that I've been trying to fix:

- Only first drive is shown in ATA device and SMART of AIDA64 even with storport.w7
Except for NVMe drives, when a device is shown in ATA is also in SMART page as well, so you can test it in a VM.

- STANDBY IMMEDIATE command is not sent to SSDs:

        case SRB_FUNCTION_SHUTDOWN: {
            //This request is for the device to flush device data from adapter cache.
            //The miniport driver must hold on to the shutdown request until no data remains in the HBA's internal cache for the target logical unit and,
            //then, complete the shutdown request.
            PATA_DEVICE_PARAMETERS  deviceParameters = &adapterExtension->PortExtension[Srb->PathId]->DeviceExtension->DeviceParameters;
            BOOLEAN                 sendStandby = (IsDumpHiberMode(adapterExtension) || IsDumpCrashMode(adapterExtension));
 
            deviceParameters->StateFlags.SystemPoweringDown = TRUE;
            if (adapterExtension->PortExtension[Srb->PathId]->DeviceExtension->SupportedCommands.SetDateAndTime == 0x1) {
                IssueSetDateAndTimeCommand(adapterExtension->PortExtension[Srb->PathId], sendStandby);
                processIO = TRUE;
            } else if (sendStandby) {
                //in dump mode, this is the last Srb sent after SYNC CACHE, spin down the disk
                PAHCI_SRB_EXTENSION srbExtension = GetSrbExtension(Srb);
                srbExtension->AtaFunction = ATA_FUNCTION_ATA_COMMAND;
                SetCommandReg((&srbExtension->TaskFile.Current), IDE_COMMAND_STANDBY_IMMEDIATE);
                processIO = TRUE;
            } else {
                Srb->SrbStatus = SRB_STATUS_SUCCESS;
                StorPortNotification(RequestComplete, AdapterExtension, Srb);
            }
 
            break;
        }
 

Forcing sendStandby to 1, fixes it "somehow", but here are the results on my system with 6 SSDs:

- port0 - fails
- port1 - fails
- port2 - fails
- port3 - fails
- port4 - OK
- port5 - OK

Hi daniel_k,

I have updated the sources today and fixed two problems. I solved the logon screen instant reboot bug if a CD-/DVD-ROM drive is connected and implemented the START STOP UNIT command.

Now to your problems. The first problem where you only see drive 0 is definitely fixed since version 1.0. This should work also with the patched Windows 7 storport driver. I did some tests with the trial version of AIDA64 and see all drives with the patched drivers. The STANDBY IMMEDIATE command should now work in version 1.1. I included a writeup in the tutorial section what was fixed exactly for you to read. If you still have problems I think it could be platform specific stuff.

Thanks for your help and support!
Kai Schtrom

Thank you, Kai!

Will certainly try the patches later and report my findings.

@schtrom Hi, I downloaded source and seems like "typedef ULONG NODE_REQUIREMENT; " is missing in ntoskrn7.c. When I added it, I can compile it under XP and 2003 32bit target environment without problem.

When I tried it to compile 2003 x64 I receive many errors. Any updates on this project for x64?
