Microsoft and LSI provide two types of miniport device drivers:
•
The SYMMPI.SYS ScsiPort based driver, called the “LSI PCI
Fusion-MPT MiniPort Driver”
•
Several StorPort drivers: LSI_FC.SYS (LSI Fusion-MPT FC StorPort
Driver), LSI_SCSI.SYS ( LSI Fusion-MPT SCSI StorPort Driver), and
LSI_SAS.SYS (LSI Fusion-MPT SAS StorPort Driver)
These drivers complete the path to the LSI controller with an optional
SCSI or FC BIOS.
