|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
2005-02-27 13:14:28 +00:00
|
|
|
driver provides support for the AMCC's 3ware 9000 series SATA controllers.
|
2004-04-13 20:57:44 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
These controllers are available in 4, 8 or 12-port configurations,
|
|
|
|
|
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).
