.Sh NAME
.Nm isp
.Nd Qlogic based SPI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters
.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 isp"
.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
isp_load="YES"
.Ed
.Sh DESCRIPTION
This driver provides access to
.Tn SPI
or
.Tn FibreChannel
SCSI devices.
.Pp
SPI supports initiator mode for Ultra SCSI and wide mode transactions for
.Tn SCSI ,
Ultra2 LVD (1080, 1280), and Ultra3 LVD (10160, 12160).
.Pp
Fibre Channel supports initiator and target modes of FCP SCSI profile,
utilizing Class 3 and Class 2 (2200 and later) connections.
Support is available for Public and Private loops, Point-to-Point
and Fabric connections.
.Sh FIRMWARE
Firmware loading is supported if the
.Xr ispfw 4
module is loaded.
It is strongly recommended that you use the firmware available from
.Xr ispfw 4
as it is the most likely to have been tested with this driver.
.Sh HARDWARE

.Nm
driver include:

.El
.Sh CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
Target mode support for Fibre Channel adapters may be enabled with the
.Pp
.Cd options ISP_TARGET_MODE
.Pp
option.
.Sh BOOT OPTIONS
The following options are switchable by setting values in
.Pa /boot/device.hints .
.Pp
They are:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Va hint.isp.0.fwload_disable
A hint value to disable loading of firmware
.Xr ispfw 4 .
.It Va hint.isp.0.ignore_nvram
A hint value to ignore board NVRAM settings for.
Otherwise use NVRAM settings.
.It Va hint.isp.0.fullduplex
A hint value to set full duplex mode.
.It Va hint.isp.0.topology
A hint value to select topology of connection.
Supported values are:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width ".Li lport-only" -compact
.It Li lport
Prefer loopback and fallback to point to point.
.It Li nport
Prefer point to point and fallback to loopback.
.It Li lport-only
Loopback only.
.It Li nport-only
Point to point only.
.El
.It Va hint.isp.0.portwwn
This should be the full 64 bit World Wide Port Name you would like
to use, overriding the value in NVRAM for the card.
.It Va hint.isp.0.nodewwn
This should be the full 64 bit World Wide Node Name you would like
to use, overriding the value in NVRAM for the card.
.It Va hint.isp.0.iid
A hint to override or set the Initiator ID or Loop ID.
For Fibre Channel
cards in Local Loop topologies it is
.Ar strongly
recommended that you set this value to non-zero.
.It Va hint.isp.0.role
A hint to define default role for isp instance (0 -- none, 1 -- target,
2 -- initiator, 3 -- both).
.It Va hint.isp.0.debug
A hint value for a driver debug level (see the file
.Pa /usr/src/sys/dev/isp/ispvar.h
for the values.
.It Va hint.isp.0.vports
A hint to create specified number of additional virtual ports.
.El
.Sh SYSCTL OPTIONS
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Va dev.isp.N.loop_down_limit
This value says how long to wait in seconds after loop has gone down before
giving up and expiring all of the devices that were visible.
The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
A separate (nonadjustable) timeout is used when
booting to not stop booting on lack of FC connectivity.
.It Va dev.isp.N.gone_device_time
This value says how long to wait for devices to reappear if they (temporarily)
disappear due to loop or fabric events.
While this timeout is running, I/O
to those devices will simply be held.
.It Va dev.isp.N.wwnn
This is the readonly World Wide Node Name value for this port.
.It Va dev.isp.N.wwpn
This is the readonly World Wide Port Name value for this port.

.Sh AUTHORS
The
.Nm
driver was written by
.An Matthew Jacob
originally for NetBSD at NASA/Ames Research Center.
Some later improvement was done by
.An Alexander Motin Aq Mt mav@FreeBSD.org .
.Sh BUGS
The driver currently ignores some NVRAM settings.
.Pp
Fabric support for 2100 cards has been so problematic, and these cards are so
old now that it is just not worth your time to try it.
