NAME

       aacraid — Adaptec AACRAID Controller driver

SYNOPSIS

       To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

             device pci
             device aacraid

             To compile in debugging code:
             options AACRAID_DEBUG=N

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

             aacraid_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

       The  aacraid  driver provides support for the Adaptec by PMC RAID controllers, including Series 6/7/8 and
       upcoming families.

       The RAID containers are handled via the aacraidp0  bus.   The  physical  buses  are  represented  by  the
       aacraidp?  devices  (beginning with aacraidp1).  These devices enable the SCSI pass-passthrough interface
       and allows devices connected to the card such as CD-ROMs to be available via the CAM  scsi(4)  subsystem.
       Note that not all cards allow this interface to be enabled.

       The  /dev/aacraid?  device  nodes provide access to the management interface of the controller.  One node
       exists  per  installed  card.   If  the  kernel  is  compiled  with  the  COMPAT_LINUX  option,  or   the
       aacraid_linux.ko  and  linux.ko  modules  are  loaded,  the  Linux-compatible  ioctl(2) interface for the
       management device will be enabled and will allow Linux-based management applications to control the card.

HARDWARE

       Controllers supported by the aacraid driver include:

       •   Adaptec ASR-6405(T|E)
       •   Adaptec ASR-6445
       •   Adaptec ASR-6805(T|E|Q|TQ)
       •   Adaptec ASR-7085
       •   Adaptec ASR-7805(Q)
       •   Adaptec ASR-70165
       •   Adaptec ASR-71605(E|Q)
       •   Adaptec ASR-71685
       •   Adaptec ASR-72405
       •   Adaptec Series 8 cards

FILES

       /dev/aacraid?            aacraid management interface

DIAGNOSTICS

       Compiling with AACRAID_DEBUG set to a number between 0 and  3  will  enable  increasingly  verbose  debug
       messages.

       The  adapter can send status and alert messages asynchronously to the driver.  These messages are printed
       on the system console, and are also queued for retrieval by a management application.

BUGS

       The controller is not actually paused on suspend/resume.
