33 .Nd 3ware 9000/9500/9550/9650 series SATA RAID controllers driver
35 To compile this driver into the kernel,
36 place the following lines in your
37 kernel configuration file:
38 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
43 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
44 module at boot time, place the following line in
46 .Bd -literal -offset indent
52 driver provides support for AMCC's 3ware 9000/9500/9550/9650 series
55 These controllers are available in 4, 8, 12 or 16-port configurations,
56 and support the following RAID levels: 0, 1, 10, 5, 50.
57 The device nodes for the controllers are of the form
58 .Pa /dev/twa Ns Ar X ,
61 is the controller number.
62 The driver is implemented as a SCSI SIM
63 under CAM, and, as such, the logical units that it controls are accessible
68 is the logical unit number.
72 driver supports the following SATA RAID controllers:
76 AMCC's 3ware 9500S-4LP
80 AMCC's 3ware 9500S-8MI
84 AMCC's 3ware 9500S-12MI
86 AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-4LP
88 AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-8LP
90 AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-12
92 AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-12MI
94 AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-16ML
96 AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-4LP
98 AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-8LP
100 AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-12
102 AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-12MI
104 AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-16ML
106 AMCC's 3ware 9650SE-2LP
108 AMCC's 3ware 9650SE-4LPML
110 AMCC's 3ware 9650SE-8LPML
112 AMCC's 3ware 9650SE-12ML
114 AMCC's 3ware 9650SE-16ML
116 AMCC's 3ware 9650SE-24M8
119 Whenever the driver encounters a command failure, it prints out an error code in
121 .Qq Li "ERROR: (<error source>: <error code>):" ,
122 followed by a text description of the error.
123 There are other error messages and warnings that the
124 driver prints out, depending on the kinds of errors that it encounters.
125 If the driver is compiled with
127 defined, it prints out a whole bunch of debug
128 messages, the quantity of which varies depending on the value assigned to
138 driver and manpage were written by
139 .An Vinod Kashyap Aq vkashyap@FreeBSD.org .
