        What I think your looking for is RSCN (Registered State Change 
notification)
. Hook that, and then check the name server. This will tell you when ports get
added/removed. You can then report luns against lun 0 of all the known target
ports. This allows you to transparently detect changes.

        Otherwise, you run the risk of trapping UA's in the lower level 
portions of
the stack that _REALLY_ need to be propagated to the controlling driver or
application.
