33 .Nd 3ware 9000/9500/9550 series SATA RAID controllers driver
39 driver provides support for AMCC's 3ware 9000/9500/9550 series
42 These controllers are available in 4, 8, 12 or 16-port configurations,
43 and support the following RAID levels: 0, 1, 10, 5, 50.
44 The device nodes for the controllers are of the form
45 .Pa /dev/twa Ns Ar X ,
48 is the controller number.
49 The driver is implemented as a SCSI SIM
50 under CAM, and, as such, the logical units that it controls are accessible
55 is the logical unit number.
59 driver supports the following SATA RAID controllers:
63 AMCC's 3ware 9500S-4LP
67 AMCC's 3ware 9500S-8MI
71 AMCC's 3ware 9500S-12MI
73 AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-4LP
75 AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-8LP
77 AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-12
79 AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-12MI
81 AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-16ML
83 AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-4LP
85 AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-8LP
87 AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-12
89 AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-12MI
91 AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-16ML
94 Whenever the driver encounters a command failure, it prints out an error code in
96 .Qq Li "ERROR: (<error source>: <error code>):" ,
97 followed by a text description of the error.
98 There are other error messages and warnings that the
99 driver prints out, depending on the kinds of errors that it encounters.
100 If the driver is compiled with
102 defined, it prints out a whole bunch of debug
103 messages, the quantity of which varies depending on the value assigned to
109 driver and manpage were written by
