|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
place the following lines in your
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device rr232x"
|
|
.Cd "device scbus"
|
|
.Cd "device da"
|
|
.Ed

|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
|
module at boot time, place the following line in

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for HighPoint's RocketRAID 232x series of RAID
|
|
controllers.
|
|
These devices support SATA disk drives and provide RAID 0, 1, and 5
|
|
functionality.
|
|
Hardware acceleration for RAID 5 is also provided.
|
|
Additionally, if multiple controllers are present, arrays may be built
|
|
out of drives that are attached to different controllers.
|
|
Online management is provided by utilities that are available for free
|

.Sh NOTES
|
|
The

.Nm
|
|
driver only works on the i386 and amd64 platforms.

|
Also, while the driver can be loaded as a module, it must be loaded prior
|
|
to boot.
|
|
Loading it after boot will result in the hardware not being detected.
