Symptoms

CommVault does not see STK libraries in Windows 2003 in the device manger when attached to an Emulex 8 gig HBA.
Consider the following scenario:

• On a Windows Server 2003-based computer, you apply the 916048 hotfix, or you install Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2).
• Later, a request is made for SCSI bus 8 (the SCSI_MAXIMUM_BUSES value) on the computer.

In this scenario, the IOCTL_SCSI_GET_INQUIRY_DATA I/O control operation returns the following error:

STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST
