IPRINIT(8) System Manager's Manual IPRINIT(8) NAME
iprinit - IBM Power RAID adapter/device initialization utility SYNOPSIS
iprinit iprinit --debug --daemon --use-polling --use-uevents DESCRIPTION
iprinit is used to setup IBM Power RAID adapters and devices for optimal performance. It will enable U320 scsi speeds if it is determined the disk enclosure supports it. It will also enable tagged command queuing. Any scsi bus attributes, such as bus width, or disk attributes, such as queue depth, that have been setup by iprconfig will be loaded as well. It is desired that this be called in the boot process, using the init.d script provided. OPTIONS
--version Print the version number of iprinit --debug Enable additional error logging. Enabling this will result in additional errors logging to /var/log/messages. --daemon Run as a daemon to handle adapters and devices being hotplugged. --use-polling Do not use netlink/uevent notification, but rather poll for adapter and device configuration changes. --use-uevents Use netlink/uevent notification rather than polling for adapter and device configuration changes. If not specified, polling will be used until the first uevent notification appears, then netlink will be used. AUTHOR

dpt - DPT ServeRAID IV SCSI host bus adapter and RAID adapter driver DESCRIPTION
The dpt driver is a driver for the DPT (Distributed Processing Technology) family of SmartRAID IV SCSI HBA and RAID adapters. The following HBA adapters are supported: PM2024, PM2044UW, PM2044W, PM2124, PM2124W, PM2144UW, and PM2144W. The following RAID adapters are supported: PM3224, PM3224W, PM3334UW, and PM3334W. PRECONFIGURATION
o DPT PM3224 only: Only EPROM 7A and later versions are supported. o DPT PM2024 and PM2124 only: Only EPROM 6D4 and later versions are supported. o Use adapters with SmartROM version 3.B or later versions only. o Be sure that the controller board is installed in a PCI bus-mastering slot. o Disable PCI parity checking if your firmware version is earlier than version 7A, if your system memory is ECC, or if your system does not check parity. Known Problems and Limitations During system boot, a message may be displayed saying a DPT controller driver cannot be installed. This message indicates that the mother- board installed in your system may contain ECC memory or may not check parity. If you see this message is displayed, disable PCI parity checking. Supported Settings o I/O Address: Auto CONFIGURATION
Auto-configuration code determines whether the adapter is present at the configured address and what types of devices are attached to it. The DPT ServeRAID is primarily used as a disk array (system drive) controller. To configure the attached disk arrays, you must configure the controller (using the configuration utilities provided by the hardware manu- facturer) before you boot the Solaris operating environment. You use the configuration utilities to set RAID levels, stripe parameters, cache mechanisms and perform other functions. For more information, see the user manual supplied with your hardware. FILES
