42 .Nd LSI Fusion-MPT 2 Serial Attached SCSI driver
44 To compile this driver into your kernel,
45 place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
46 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
51 Or, to load the driver as a module at boot, place the following line in
53 .Bd -literal -offset indent
59 driver provides support for LSI Logic Fusion-MPT 2
61 controllers and WarpDrive solid state storage cards.
65 driver supports the following hardware:
69 LSI Logic SAS2004 (4 Port
72 LSI Logic SAS2008 (8 Port
75 LSI Logic SAS2108 (8 Port
78 LSI Logic SAS2116 (16 Port
81 LSI Logic SAS2208 (8 Port
84 LSI Logic SAS2308 (8 Port
87 LSI Logic SSS6200 Solid State Storage
89 Intel Integrated RAID Module RMS25JB040
91 Intel Integrated RAID Module RMS25JB080
93 Intel Integrated RAID Module RMS25KB040
95 Intel Integrated RAID Module RMS25KB080
98 To disable MSI interrupts for all
100 driver instances, set the following tunable value in
102 .Bd -literal -offset indent
106 To disable MSI interrupts for a specific
108 driver instance, set the following tunable value in
110 .Bd -literal -offset indent
111 dev.mps.X.disable_msi=1
114 where X is the adapter number.
116 To disable MSI-X interrupts for all
118 driver instances, set the following tunable value in
120 .Bd -literal -offset indent
121 hw.mps.disable_msix=1
124 To disable MSI-X interrupts for a specific
126 driver instance, set the following tunable value in
128 .Bd -literal -offset indent
129 dev.mps.X.disable_msix=1
132 To set the maximum number of DMA chains allocated for all adapters,
133 set the following variable in
135 .Bd -literal -offset indent
136 hw.mps.max_chains=NNNN
139 To set the maximum number of DMA chains allocated for a specific adapter,
140 set the following variable in
142 .Bd -literal -offset indent
143 dev.mps.X.max_chains=NNNN
146 This variable may also be viewed via
148 to see the maximum set for a given adapter.
150 The current number of free chain frames may be seen via the
155 The lowest number of free chain frames may be seen via the
156 dev.mps.X.chain_free_lowwater
160 The current number of active I/O commands is shown in the
161 dev.mps.X.io_cmds_active
165 The maximum number of active I/O command seen since boot is shown in the
166 dev.mps.X.io_cmds_highwater
170 To enable debugging prints from the
173 .Bd -literal -offset indent
177 variable, where X is the adapter number, either in
181 The following bits have the described effects:
182 .Bl -tag -offset indent
184 Enable informational prints.
186 Enable tracing prints.
188 Enable prints for driver faults.
190 Enable prints for controller events.
206 driver first appeared in
212 driver was originally written by
213 .An Scott Long Aq scottl@FreeBSD.org .
214 It has been improved and tested by LSI Logic Corporation.
215 This man page was written by
216 .An Ken Merry Aq ken@FreeBSD.org .
218 This driver has a couple of known shortcomings:
221 No userland utility available (e.g.
224 The driver probes devices sequentially.
225 If your system has a large number of devices, the probe will take a while.
