NVMe SSD Firmware update fail using APIs of Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Private API

[ykameoka]

Hi,
I'm developing a NVMe SSD's application tool to update firmware on Intel RST/VMD platform(Intel CRB board with VMD enabled, and RST driver enabled.). The application tool's code follows details  of Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Private API document. However the  IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT request with ControlCode=IOCTL_RAID_FIRMWARE (chapter 6)
returns fail status: FIRMWARE_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER (0x3), expected status is FIRMWARE_STATUS_SUCCESS(0x0). I also tried using IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT request with IOCTL_NVME_PASS_THROUGH (chapter 2), the request returns fail status: FIRMWARE_STATUS_ERROR(0x1). My NVMe SSD is NVMe* Drives and should be compatible to the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Private APIs, could you please provide some support about this failure?

Hello ykameoka, I just received an update on this matter.

While we are still working on this case, we just wanted to confirm:

Which hardware are you using, could you please provide the SSU report?

Is the issue related to Intel® RST or NVMe SSD Firmware update failure?

Could you please clarify the following:

-the&nbsp; IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT&nbsp;request with&nbsp;ControlCode=IOCTL_RAID_FIRMWARE (chapter 6)

-status:&nbsp;FIRMWARE_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER (0x3)

-using&nbsp;IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT&nbsp;request with IOCTL_NVME_PASS_THROUGH (chapter 2)

I can see that you shared a document that is confidential, if the statements above are related to that document, I can always send you an email for you to provide that information to us.
