138 To set the maximum number of DMA chains allocated for all adapters, set

142 hw.mpr.max_chains=NNNN
145 To set the maximum number of DMA chains allocated for a specific adapter,
148 .Bd -literal -offset indent
149 dev.mpr.X.max_chains=NNNN
152 The default max_chains value is 2048.
154 The current number of free chain frames is stored in the
159 The lowest number of free chain frames seen since boot is stored in the
160 dev.mpr.X.chain_free_lowwater
164 The number of times that chain frame allocations have failed since boot is
166 dev.mpr.X.chain_alloc_fail
169 This can be used to determine whether the max_chains tunable should be
170 increased to help performance.
172 The current number of active I/O commands is shown in the
173 dev.mpr.X.io_cmds_active
177 The current number of free PRP pages is stored in the
178 dev.mpr.X.prp_pages_free
181 PRP pages are used by NVMe devices for I/O transfers, much like Scatter/Gather
184 The lowest number of free PRP pages seen since boot is stored in the
185 dev.mpr.X.prp_pages_free_lowwater
189 The number of times that PRP page allocations have failed since boot is

195 To set the maximum number of pages that will be used per I/O for all adapters,
198 .Bd -literal -offset indent
199 hw.mpr.max_io_pages=NNNN
202 To set the maximum number of pages that will be used per I/O for a specific
203 adapter, set this tunable in
205 .Bd -literal -offset indent
206 dev.mpr.X.max_io_pages=NNNN
209 The default max_io_pages value is -1, meaning that the maximum I/O size that
210 will be used per I/O will be calculated using the IOCFacts values stored in
212 The lowest value that the driver will use for max_io_pages is 1, otherwise
213 IOCFacts will be used to calculate the maximum I/O size.
214 The smaller I/O size calculated from either max_io_pages or IOCFacts will be the
215 maximum I/O size used by the driver.
217 The highest number of active I/O commands seen since boot is stored in the
218 dev.mpr.X.io_cmds_highwater
222 Devices can be excluded from
224 control for all adapters by setting this tunable in
226 .Bd -literal -offset indent
230 Y represents the target ID of the device.
231 If more than one device is to be excluded, target IDs are separated by commas.
233 Devices can be excluded from
235 control for a specific adapter by setting this tunable in
237 .Bd -literal -offset indent
238 dev.mpr.X.exclude_ids=Y
241 Y represents the target ID of the device.
242 If more than one device is to be excluded, target IDs are separated by commas.
244 The adapter can issue the
246 SCSI command to SATA direct-access devices during shutdown.
247 This allows the device to quiesce powering down.
248 To control this feature for all adapters, set the
249 .Bd -literal -offset indent
255 to one of these values:
256 .Bl -tag -width 6n -offset indent
258 Do not send SSU to either HDDs or SSDs.
260 Send SSU to SSDs, but not to HDDs.
261 This is the default value.
263 Send SSU to HDDs, but not to SSDs.
265 Send SSU to both HDDs and SSDs.
268 To control this feature for a specific adapter, set this tunable value in
270 .Bd -literal -offset indent
274 The same set of values are valid as when setting this tunable for all adapters.
276 SATA disks that take several seconds to spin up and fail the SATA Identify
277 command might not be discovered by the driver.
278 This problem can sometimes be overcome by increasing the value of the spinup
282 .Bd -literal -offset indent
283 hw.mpr.spinup_wait_time=NNNN
287 NNNN represents the number of seconds to wait for SATA devices to spin up when
288 the device fails the initial SATA Identify command.
290 Spinup wait times can be set for specific adapters in
293 .Bd -literal -offset indent
294 dev.mpr.X.spinup_wait_time=NNNN
298 NNNN is the number of seconds to wait for SATA devices to spin up when they fail
299 the initial SATA Identify command.
301 The driver can map devices discovered by the adapter so that target IDs
302 corresponding to a specific device persist across resets and reboots.
303 In some cases it is possible for devices to lose their mapped IDs due to
304 unexpected behavior from certain hardware, such as some types of enclosures.
305 To overcome this problem, a tunable is provided that will force the driver to
306 map devices using the Phy number associated with the device.
307 This feature is not recommended if the topology includes multiple
308 enclosures/expanders.
309 If multiple enclosures/expanders are present in the topology, Phy numbers are
310 repeated, causing all devices at these Phy numbers except the first device to
312 To control this feature for all adapters, set the
313 .Bd -literal -offset indent
319 to one of these values:
320 .Bl -tag -width 6n -offset indent
322 Only use Phy numbers to map devices and bypass the driver's mapping logic.
324 Never use Phy numbers to map devices.
326 Use Phy numbers to map devices, but only if the driver's mapping logic fails
327 to map the device that is being enumerated.
328 This is the default value.
331 To control this feature for a specific adapter, set this tunable value in
333 .Bd -literal -offset indent
334 dev.mpr.X.use_phy_num
337 The same set of values are valid as when setting this tunable for all adapters.
339 To enable debugging prints from the
342 .Bd -literal -offset indent
350 These bits have the described effects:
351 .Bd -literal -offset indent
352 0x0001 Enable informational prints (set by default).
353 0x0002 Enable prints for driver faults (set by default).
354 0x0004 Enable prints for controller events.
355 0x0008 Enable prints for controller logging.
356 0x0010 Enable prints for tracing recovery operations.
357 0x0020 Enable prints for parameter errors and programming bugs.
358 0x0040 Enable prints for system initialization operations.
359 0x0080 Enable prints for more detailed information.
360 0x0100 Enable prints for user-generated commands (IOCTL).
361 0x0200 Enable prints for device mapping.
362 0x0400 Enable prints for tracing through driver functions.
