.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm mpt
|
|
.Nd LSI Fusion-MPT SCSI/Fibre Channel driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
place the following lines in your
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device scbus"
|
|
.Cd "device mpt"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
|
module at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
mpt_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support
|
|
for the LSI Logic Fusion-MPT family of
|
|
.Tn SCSI ,
|
|
.Tn Fibre Channel
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn SAS
|
|
controllers.
|
|
.Sh HARDWARE
|
|
The following controllers are supported by the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -bullet -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
LSI Logic 53c1030,
|
|
LSI Logic LSI2x320-X
|
|
(Single and Dual Ultra320
|
|
.Tn SCSI )
|

|
|
LSI Logic AS1064,
|
|
LSI Logic AS1068
|
|

|
|
LSI Logic FC909
|
|
(1Gb/s
|
|

|
|
.It
|
|
LSI Logic FC909A
|
|
(Dual 1Gb/s
|
|
.Tn Fibre Channel )
|
|
.It
|
|
LSI Logic FC919,
|
|
LSI Logic 7102XP-LC
|
|
(Single 2Gb/s
|

|
|
LSI Logic FC929,
|
|

|
|
LSI Logic 7202XP-LC
|
|
(Dual 2Gb/s
|
|
.Tn Fibre Channel )
|
|
.It
|
|
LSI Logic FC949X
|
|
(Dual 4Gb/s
|
|

|
|
.It
|

|
|
LSI Logic FC949ES
|
|
(Dual 4Gb/s
|
|
.Tn Fibre Channel PCI-Express)
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn Ultra 320 SCSI
|
|
controller chips supported by the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver can be found onboard on many systems including:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -bullet -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
Dell PowerEdge 1750 through 2850
|
|
.It
|
|
IBM eServer xSeries 335
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These systems also contain Integrated RAID Mirroring and Integrated
|
|
RAID Mirroring Enhanced which this driver also supports.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn SAS
|
|
controller chips are also present on many new AMD/Opteron based systems,
|
|
like the Sun 4100.
|
|
Note that this controller can drive both SAS and SATA
|
|
drives or a mix of them at the same time.
|
|
The Integrated RAID Mirroring
|
|
available for these controllers is poorly supported at best.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn Fibre Channel
|
|
controller chipset are supported by a broad variety of speeds and systems.
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn Apple
|
|
Fibre Channel HBA is in fact the
|
|
.Tn FC949ES
|
|
card.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This driver also supports target mode for Fibre Channel cards.
|
|
This support may be enabled by setting the desired role of the core via
|
|
the LSI Logic firmware utility that establishes what roles the card
|
|
can take on - no separate compilation is required.
|
|
.Sh WARNINGS
|
|
Most controllers supported by the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver suffer from limitations on supported disk size (mostly <2TB).
|
|
While most controllers will truncate usable disk size, others might
|
|
behave unexpectedly and can cause severe data loss.
|
|
Refer to the datasheet of the chipset and firmware version for information
|
|
about supported disk size and limitations.
