.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
2006-05-20 09:39:28 +00:00
|
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
|
|
|
place the following lines in your
|
|
|
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
|
|
|
.Cd "device scbus"
|
2004-04-13 20:57:44 +00:00

|
|
|
.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
|
|
|

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
2006-02-20 19:42:04 +00:00
|
|
|
driver provides support for AMCC's 3ware 9000/9500/9550 series
|
|
|
|
|
SATA controllers.

|

|
.Pp

2006-02-20 19:42:04 +00:00
|
|
|
These controllers are available in 4, 8, 12 or 16-port configurations,
|
2004-04-13 20:57:44 +00:00
|
|
|
and support the following RAID levels: 0, 1, 10, 5, 50.
|
|
|
|
|
The device nodes for the controllers are of the form
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa /dev/twa Ns Ar X ,
|
|
|
|
|
where
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar X
|
|
|
|
|
is the controller number.
|
|
|
|
|
The driver is implemented as a SCSI SIM
|
|
|
|
|
under CAM, and, as such, the logical units that it controls are accessible
|
|
|
|
|
via the device nodes,
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa /dev/da Ns Ar Y ,
|
|
|
|
|
where
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar Y
|
|
|
|
|
is the logical unit number.

.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
|
|
|
Whenever the driver encounters a command failure, it prints out an error code in
|
|
|
|
|
the format:
|
|
|
|
|
.Qq Li "ERROR: (<error source>: <error code>):" ,
|
|
|
|
|
followed by a text description of the error.
|
|
|
|
|
There are other error messages and warnings that the
|
|
|
|
|
driver prints out, depending on the kinds of errors that it encounters.
|
|
|
|
|
If the driver is compiled with
|
|
|
|
|
.Dv TWA_DEBUG
|
|
|
|
|
defined, it prints out a whole bunch of debug
|
|
|
|
|
messages, the quantity of which varies depending on the value assigned to
|
|
|
|
|
.Dv TWA_DEBUG
|
|
|
|
|
(0 to 10).
