MPII(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual MPII(4)NAME
mpii -- LSI Logic Fusion-MPT Message Passing Interface II
SYNOPSIS
mpii* at pci? dev ? function ?
DESCRIPTION
The mpii driver provides support for storage controllers using the LSI Logic Fusion-MPT Message Passing Interface II family of chipsets:
- LSISAS2004, LSISAS2008
These chipsets can be found on the following controllers:
- Dell PERC H200
- LSI SAS 9200-8e, SAS 9211-4i, SAS 9211-8i
Some models of these controllers have varying degrees of support for RAID 0 and RAID 1.
mpii supports monitoring of the logical disks in the controller through the bioctl(8) and envstat(8) commands.
EVENTS
The mpii driver is able to send events to powerd(8) if a logical drive in the controller is not online. The state-changed event will be sent
to the /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_drive script when such condition happens.
SEE ALSO intro(4), pci(4), scsi(4), sd(4), bioctl(8), envstat(8), powerd(8)HISTORY
The mpii driver first appeared in OpenBSD 4.7.
AUTHORS
The mpii driver was written by James Giannoules and Mike Belopuhov.
BUGS
The chips supported by mpii do not use a SCSI-like identifier. Instead they use an opaque ID and leave discovery order up to the operating
system. The code to handle this is currently not implemented and therefore it is not a good idea to run this driver on a multi-boot machine
or with more than 1 drive.

mfi -- LSI Logic & Dell MegaRAID SAS RAID controller
SYNOPSIS
mfi* at pci? dev ? function ?
DESCRIPTION
The mfi driver provides support for the MegaRAID SAS family of RAID controllers, including:
- Dell PERC 5/e, PERC 5/i, PERC 6/e, PERC 6/i
- Intel RAID Controller SRCSAS18E, SRCSAS144E
- LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS 8208ELP, MegaRAID SAS 8208XLP, MegaRAID SAS 8300XLP, MegaRAID SAS 8308ELP, MegaRAID SAS 8344ELP, MegaRAID
SAS 8408E, MegaRAID SAS 8480E, MegaRAID SAS 8708ELP, MegaRAID SAS 8888ELP, MegaRAID SAS 8880EM2, MegaRAID SAS 9260-8i
- IBM ServeRAID M1015, ServeRAID M5014
These controllers support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, RAID 50 and RAID 60 using either SAS or SATA II drives.
Although the controllers are actual RAID controllers, the driver makes them look just like SCSI controllers. All RAID configuration is done
through the controllers' BIOSes.
mfi supports monitoring of the logical disks in the controller through the bioctl(8) and envstat(8) commands.
EVENTS
The mfi driver is able to send events to powerd(8) if a logical drive in the controller is not online. The state-changed event will be sent
to the /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_drive script when such condition happens.
SEE ALSO intro(4), pci(4), scsi(4), sd(4), bioctl(8), envstat(8), powerd(8)HISTORY
The mfi driver first appeared in NetBSD 4.0.

I am running a SAS program within K-shell. This SAS program gives me return code of 3000. However, when I check return code in my K-shell, it displays RC=2.
Can someone tell me how to capture RC from SAS to K-shell?
Thanks.

I am running a Dell PE R815 with 4 x AMD 12 core CPUs with 128GB of RAM and a RAID 5 array of 6 SAS disks. This is an HPC application and is definitely CPU bound, however once I run 16 of these processes (thus pinning 16 cores) the work performed slows down dramatically, to maybe 5 or 10% of what...

Hi folks,
I had problems trying to install SCO OpenServer 6 on a PC with no floppy drive and a SATA CD drive.
Eventually after advice received on this forum last week, I adopted a different approach by fitting the LSI HBA RAID adapter and associated disks into an older PC that does have CD and... (4 Replies)
Hi There!
I'm writing this LSF script to make it easier to send jobs to a cluster when varying certain parameters. At one point I'd like to do something like:
set NPROC = 10
and later on call BSUB using something like:
#BSUB -n $NPROC
unfortunately for me, this throws an error:

I have a known good external SCSI HD running SCO UNIX OpenServer 5.0.7. I decided that I wanted to be able to run this drive on another computer, so I bought the same SCSI card as before (LSI) and then attempted to boot on the other system.
