42 .Nd LSI Fusion-MPT SCSI/Fibre Channel driver
44 To compile this driver into the kernel,
45 place the following lines in your
46 kernel configuration file:
47 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
52 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
53 module at boot time, place the following line in
55 .Bd -literal -offset indent
61 driver provides support

77 (Single and Dual Ultra320
109 .Tn Fibre Channel PCI-Express)
114 controller chips supported by the
116 driver can be found onboard on many systems including:
120 Dell PowerEdge 1750 thru 2850
122 IBM eServer xSeries 335
125 These systems also contain Integrated Raid Mirroring and Integrated
126 Raid Mirroring Enhanced which this driver also supports.
130 controller chips are also present on many new AMD/Opteron based systems,
132 Note that this controller can drive both SAS and SATA
133 drives or a mix of them at the same time.
134 The Integrated Raid Mirroring
135 available for these controllers is poorly supported at best.
139 controller chipset are supported by a broad variety of speeds and systems.
142 Fibre Channel HBA is in fact the
146 This driver also supports target mode for Fibre Channel cards.
147 This support may be enabled by setting the desired role of the core via
148 the LSI Logic firmware utility that establishes what roles the card
149 can take on - no separate compilation is required.
