34 .Nd Qlogic based SPI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters
36 To compile this driver into the kernel,
37 place the following lines in your
38 kernel configuration file:
39 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
44 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
45 module at boot time, place the following line in
47 .Bd -literal -offset indent
51 This driver provides access to

117 .Sh CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
118 Target mode support for Fibre Channel adapters may be enabled with the
120 .Cd options ISP_TARGET_MODE
124 The following options are switchable by setting values in
125 .Pa /boot/device.hints .
128 .Bl -tag -width indent
129 .It Va hint.isp.0.fwload_disable
130 A hint value to disable loading of firmware
132 .It Va hint.isp.0.ignore_nvram
133 A hint value to ignore board NVRAM settings for.
134 Otherwise use NVRAM settings.
135 .It Va hint.isp.0.fullduplex
136 A hint value to set full duplex mode.
137 .It Va hint.isp.0.topology
138 A hint value to select topology of connection.
139 Supported values are:
141 .Bl -tag -width ".Li lport-only" -compact
143 Prefer loopback and fallback to point to point.
145 Prefer point to point and fallback to loopback.
151 .It Va hint.isp.0.portwwn
152 This should be the full 64 bit World Wide Port Name you would like
153 to use, overriding the value in NVRAM for the card.
154 .It Va hint.isp.0.nodewwn
155 This should be the full 64 bit World Wide Node Name you would like
156 to use, overriding the value in NVRAM for the card.
157 .It Va hint.isp.0.iid
158 A hint to override or set the Initiator ID or Loop ID.
160 cards in Local Loop topologies it is
162 recommended that you set this value to non-zero.
163 .It Va hint.isp.0.role
164 A hint to define default role for isp instance (0 -- none, 1 -- target,
165 2 -- initiator, 3 -- both).
166 .It Va hint.isp.0.debug
167 A hint value for a driver debug level (see the file
168 .Pa /usr/src/sys/dev/isp/ispvar.h
170 .It Va hint.isp.0.vports
171 A hint to create specified number of additional virtual ports.
174 .Bl -tag -width indent
175 .It Va dev.isp.N.loop_down_limit
176 This value says how long to wait in seconds after loop has gone down before
177 giving up and expiring all of the devices that were visible.
178 The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
179 A separate (nonadjustable) timeout is used when
180 booting to not stop booting on lack of FC connectivity.
181 .It Va dev.isp.N.gone_device_time
182 This value says how long to wait for devices to reappear if they (temporarily)
183 disappear due to loop or fabric events.
184 While this timeout is running, I/O
185 to those devices will simply be held.
186 .It Va dev.isp.N.wwnn
187 This is the readonly World Wide Node Name value for this port.
188 .It Va dev.isp.N.wwpn
189 This is the readonly World Wide Port Name value for this port.
201 driver was written by
203 originally for NetBSD at NASA/Ames Research Center.
204 Some later improvement was done by
205 .An Alexander Motin Aq Mt mav@FreeBSD.org .
207 The driver currently ignores some NVRAM settings.
209 Fabric support for 2100 cards has been so problematic, and these cards are so
210 old now that it is just not worth your time to try it.
