.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm asr
|
|
.Nd driver for Adaptec I2O based SCSI/ATA host bus adapters
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "device asr"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The Adaptec
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides access to disks
|
|
and disk arrays controlled by I2O based host bus adapters and
|
|
SmartRAID SCSI RAID adapters through the standard SCSI disk
|
|
.Xr da 4
|
|
interface.
|
|
The adapters currently supported include the following RAID adapters:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "Adaptec SmartRAID PM1554" -compact
|
|
.It Adaptec SCSI RAID 2100S
|
|

|
|
.It Adaptec SCSI RAID 3200S

|
|
Some of the adapters provide 64 bit PCI,
|
|
Compact PCI,
|
|
ACPI and up to four channels of Ultra 160 SCSI,
|
|
or two channels of 1GB Fibre.
|
|
All support RAID-0, RAID-1, RAID-10, RAID-5 and RAID-50 arrays.
|
|
All SCSI target types are supported.
|
|
For the ATA based controllers, one IDE drive per channel is supported.
|
|
Hot-swapping of IDE drives is not supported at this time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The PCI adapters automatically configure
|
|
using the configuration mechanism of the bus they are on.
|
|
With PCI adapters
|
|
the IRQ sometimes has to be assigned from a BIOS configuration menu
|
|
(some BIOS's do this automatically).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All host bus adapters must be configured
|
|
before they can be used with any operating system.
|
|
Please contact Adaptec directly to obtain the latest information
|
|
on configuration utilities for the adapters.
|
|
Currently there are both a GUI Motif based configuration utility
|
|
and a CLI based configuration utility available from the Adaptec Web site.
|
|
Note that in the absence of a native
|
|
.Fx
|
|
version
|
|
of the configuration utilities
|
|
does not mean one cannot configure the devices via the BIOS
|
|
based configuration tool Storage Manager on ROM (SMOR).

|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
The ATA based controllers present their devices as SCSI-like devices via CAM.
|
|
For IDE drives attached to these cards, a subset of standard SCSI commands
|
|
and mode pages are understood via translation performed in the card's firmware.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
(Adaptec SCSI RAID)
|
|
driver first appeared as the dpti2o driver under BSDi
|
|
.Bsx 3.2 ,
|
|
then under
|
|
.Fx 2.2.8
|
|
and was ported over to the CAM layer represented in 4.0.
