31 .Nd Adaptec AACRAID Controller driver
33 To compile this driver into the kernel,
34 place the following lines in your
35 kernel configuration file:
36 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
40 To compile in debugging code:
41 .Cd options AACRAID_DEBUG=N
44 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
45 module at boot time, place the following line in
47 .Bd -literal -offset indent
53 driver provides support for the Adaptec by PMC RAID controllers,
54 including Series 6/7/8 and upcoming families.
56 The RAID containers are handled via the
59 The physical buses are represented by the
61 devices (beginning with aacraidp1). These devices enable the
62 SCSI pass-thru interface and allows devices connected
63 to the card such as CD-ROMs to be available via the CAM
66 Note that not all cards allow this interface to be enabled.
70 device nodes provide access to the management interface of the controller.
71 One node exists per installed card.
72 If the kernel is compiled with the
78 modules are loaded, the
81 interface for the management device will be enabled and will allow
82 Linux-based management applications to control the card.
84 Controllers supported by the

108 Adaptec Series 8 cards
111 .Bl -tag -width /boot/kernel/aacraid.ko -compact
113 aacraid management interface
118 set to a number between 0 and 3
119 will enable increasingly verbose debug messages.
121 The adapter can send status and alert messages asynchronously
123 These messages are printed on the system console,
124 and are also queued for retrieval by a management application.
