Re: SCSI miniport-Custom Log messages

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Here a sample (considering that the mc file is named msglog.mc)

1.) Make sure that you use the custom build step for your .mc file:
Command Line: "mc msglog.mc -c"
Outputs: "msglog.rc;msglog.h"

2.) Make sure that you really link agains the .res file (which is
autogenerated by "mc.exe"). Usually this step is forgotten, but it is
mandatory else, the "mc.exe" will make the resource file, but the
resourcelinker does not know about this, since it is not involved
automatically. So add also at "Resources"->"Resource File Name"
"directory\msglog.res"

3.) Also make the necessary entries in the registry by your inf file. Here a
sample inf file section

4.) At least you need to reboot your machine one time to to give the
eventlog system the chance to update its registry values, which you modified
by your inf file


[ClassInstall32.Services]
AddService="MyService",0x00000002,AddServiceCommonSection,EventLogCommonSection,System,"MyServiceDescription"

;--------- EventLog Section -----------------------------------------------

If you open your sys file in resource editor (for example, reshacker), and

Hi,

Is it possible to generate custom error log messages for SCSI miniport
driver?
I tried the following but no luck:

1. Created a message (.mc) file, compiled and generated a corresponding
.rc
and .bin file, as per WDK and sample code.

2. Updated .inf file for event log as mentioned in the WDK and added .sys
file to look for messages.

3. Calling StorPortLogError() with this custom error ID.

After installing this driver, an event is getting logged in the event log,
however it complains that it's not able to find the description.

The following message is displayed in the description instead of my custom
error message.

"The description for Event ID ( 11 ) in Source (xyz) cannot be found. The
local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message
DLL
files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use
the
/AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for
details. The following information is part of the event:
\Device\RaidPort8.
"

Is it possible to have custom error messages in storport-miniport driver?
If
so could some one please point out the missing thing in the above steps?

Thanks,
Indira
