NAME

       mpt — LSI Fusion-MPT SCSI/Fibre Channel driver

SYNOPSIS

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

             device scbus
             device mpt

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

             mpt_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

       The  mpt  driver  provides  support  for  the  LSI Logic Fusion-MPT family of SCSI, Fibre Channel and SAS
       controllers.

HARDWARE

       The following controllers are supported by the mpt driver:

          LSI Logic 53c1030, LSI Logic LSI2x320-X (Single and Dual Ultra320 SCSI)
          LSI Logic AS1064, LSI Logic AS1068 (SAS/SATA)
          LSI Logic FC909 (1Gb/s Fibre Channel)
          LSI Logic FC909A (Dual 1Gb/s Fibre Channel)
          LSI Logic FC919, LSI Logic 7102XP-LC (Single 2Gb/s Fibre Channel)
          LSI Logic FC929, LSI Logic FC929X, LSI Logic 7202XP-LC (Dual 2Gb/s Fibre Channel)
          LSI Logic FC949X (Dual 4Gb/s Fibre Channel)
          LSI Logic FC949E, LSI Logic FC949ES (Dual 4Gb/s Fibre Channel PCI-Express)

       The Ultra 320 SCSI controller chips supported by the mpt driver can be  found  onboard  on  many  systems
       including:

          Dell PowerEdge 1750 thru 2850
          IBM eServer xSeries 335

       These  systems  also  contain Integrated RAID Mirroring and Integrated RAID Mirroring Enhanced which this
       driver also supports.

       The SAS controller chips are also present on many new AMD/Opteron based systems, like the Sun 4100.  Note
       that this controller can drive both SAS and SATA drives  or  a  mix  of  them  at  the  same  time.   The
       Integrated RAID Mirroring available for these controllers is poorly supported at best.

       The  Fibre  Channel controller chipset are supported by a broad variety of speeds and systems.  The Apple
       Fibre Channel HBA is in fact the FC949ES card.

       This driver also supports target mode for Fibre Channel cards.  This support may be  enabled  by  setting
       the  desired role of the core via the LSI Logic firmware utility that establishes what roles the card can
       take on - no separate compilation is required.
