NAME

     arcmsr -- Areca SATA II RAID Controller driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device pci
	   device scbus
	   device da
	   device arcmsr

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   arcmsr_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The arcmsr driver provides support for the Areca ARC-11xx and ARC-12xx series of SATA II RAID controllers.  These controllers feature RAID-0,
     1, 3, 5, 6, and 10 and JBOD acceleration for up to 16 SATA drives.  Raid level and stripe level migration, online capacity expansion, hot
     insertion/removal, automatic failover and rebuild, and SMART are also supported.  Access to the arrays is provided via the SCSI CAM /dev/da?
     device nodes.  A management interface is also present via the /dev/arcmsr? device node.  Management tools for i386 and amd64 are available
     from Areca.

HARDWARE

     The arcmsr driver supports the following cards:

     o	 ARC-1110
     o	 ARC-1120
     o	 ARC-1130
     o	 ARC-1160
     o	 ARC-1170
     o	 ARC-1180
     o	 ARC-1110ML
     o	 ARC-1120ML
     o	 ARC-1130ML
     o	 ARC-1160ML
     o	 ARC-1210
     o	 ARC-1220

     o	 ARC-1220ML
     o	 ARC-1231ML
     o	 ARC-1261ML
     o	 ARC-1280ML

FILES

     /dev/da?	   Array block device
     /dev/arcmsr?  Management interface

SEE ALSO

HISTORY

     The arcmsr driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.4.

AUTHORS

     The driver was written by Erich Chen <erich@areca.com.tw>.

BUGS

     The driver has been tested on i386 and amd64.  It likely requires additional work to function on big-endian architectures.

NAME

     mfi -- LSI MegaRAID SAS driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device pci
	   device mfi

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   mfi_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     This driver is for LSI's next generation PCI Express SAS RAID controllers.  Access to RAID arrays (logical disks) from this driver is pro-
     vided via /dev/mfid? device nodes.  A simple management interface is also provided on a per-controller basis via the /dev/mfi? device node.

     The mfi name is derived from the phrase "MegaRAID Firmware Interface", which is substantially different than the old "MegaRAID" interface and
     thus requires a new driver.  Older SCSI and SATA MegaRAID cards are supported by amr(4) and will not work with this driver.

     Two sysctls are provided to tune the mfi driver's behavior when a request is made to remove a mounted volume.  By default the driver will
     disallow any requests to remove a mounted volume.	If the sysctl dev.mfi.%d.delete_busy_volumes is set to 1, then the driver will allow
     mounted volumes to be removed.

HARDWARE

     The mfi driver supports the following hardware:

     o	 LSI MegaRAID SAS 1078
     o	 LSI MegaRAID SAS 8408E
     o	 LSI MegaRAID SAS 8480E
     o	 LSI MegaRAID SAS 9260
     o	 Dell PERC5
     o	 Dell PERC6
     o	 IBM ServeRAID M5015 SAS/SATA
     o	 IBM ServeRAID-MR10i
     o	 Intel RAID Controller SROMBSAS18E

FILES

     /dev/mfid?  array/logical disk interface
     /dev/mfi?	 management interface

DIAGNOSTICS

     mfid%d: Unable to delete busy device  An attempt was made to remove a mounted volume.

HISTORY

     The mfi driver first appeared in FreeBSD 6.1.

AUTHORS

     The mfi driver and this manual page were written by Scott Long <scottl@FreeBSD.org>.

BUGS

     The driver does not support big-endian architectures at this time.
