HPTMV(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual HPTMV(4)NAME
hptmv -- HighPoint RocketRAID 182x device driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
device hptmv
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
hptmv_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The hptmv driver provides support for HighPoint's RocketRAID 182x based RAID controller.
These devices support ATA disk drives and provide RAID0 (striping), RAID1 (mirroring), and RAID5 functionality.
HARDWARE
The hptmv driver supports the following ATA RAID controllers:
o HighPoint's RocketRAID 182x series
NOTES
The hptmv driver only works on the i386 and amd64 platforms as it requires a binary blob object from the manufacturer which they only supply
for these platforms. The hptmv driver does not work on i386 with pae(4) enabled.
SEE ALSO kld(4), kldload(8), loader(8)HISTORY
The hptmv device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.3.
AUTHORS
The hptmv device driver was written by HighPoint Technologies, Inc., and ported to FreeBSD by Scott Long. This manual page was written by
David E. O'Brien.
BUGS
The hptmv driver does not support manipulating the RAID from the OS, RAIDs need to be set up from the on-board BIOS.

I have read anecdotes about people installing RAID0 (RAID - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) on some of their machines because it gives a performance boost. Because bandwidth on the motherboard is limited, can someone explain exactly why it should be faster? (7 Replies)
Hi,
I've been searching for answers for two days and didn't find any definite answers on building RAID1 on SPARC. The main problem was with SILO (Sparc Improved boot LOader): can it boot from RAID partition or not. So I just tried it and it works.
I've done this on Debian, but it should be... (0 Replies)
Hi,
I tried to install RH WS 6.0 to an old laptop but at the very beginning of the install it complained from the lack of the "pae" and halted.
I guess RH 6.0 pae enabled by default. In such case is there any way/trick/batch to overcome this issue and perform the install...?

Hey all,
I've got an old HP9000 L1000 server with HP-UX installed. The drives that the OS is running on are in RAID0. I am concerned for the reliability of the server. The four hard drives in the front of the server are LVD 18.2 drives. I know with RAID0, if one drive fails, they all fail. ... (2 Replies)

Hello all, this is my first time posting here. Where I work we have multiple servers (x3-2's) running Solaris 10u11 with 2 drives configured as RAID0, 300GB per. There are 4-6 open slots for drives to clone to.
Past attempts to clone/backup these drives has failed. One of the machines is... (1 Reply)
