AACRAID(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual AACRAID(4)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-thru 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:
o Adaptec ASR-6405(T|E)
o Adaptec ASR-6445
o Adaptec ASR-6805(T|E|Q|TQ)
o Adaptec ASR-7085
o Adaptec ASR-7805(Q)
o Adaptec ASR-70165
o Adaptec ASR-71605(E|Q)
o Adaptec ASR-71685
o Adaptec ASR-72405
o Adaptec Series 8 cards

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.

asr -- driver for Adaptec I2O based SCSI/ATA host bus adapters
SYNOPSIS
device asr
DESCRIPTION
The Adaptec asr driver provides access to disks and disk arrays controlled by I2O based host bus adapters and SmartRAID SCSI RAID adapters
through the standard SCSI disk da(4) interface.
The supported adapters provide 64 bit PCI, Compact PCI, Zero Channel PCI, and up to four channels of Ultra2, Ultra 160, or Ultra320 SCSI, or
two channels of 1GB Fibre. All support RAID-0, RAID-1, RAID-10, RAID-5 and RAID-50 arrays. All SCSI target types are supported. For the
ATA based controllers, one IDE drive per channel is supported. Hot-swapping of IDE drives is not supported at this time.
All host bus adapters must be configured before they can be used with any operating system. Please contact Adaptec directly to obtain the
latest information on configuration utilities for the adapters. Currently there are both a Motif based GUI configuration utility and a CLI
based configuration utility available from the Adaptec Web site. The cards and arrays can also be configured via the BIOS based configura-
tion tool (SMOR).
HARDWARE
The adapters currently supported by the asr driver include the following:
o Adaptec Zero-Channel SCSI RAID 2000S, 2005S, 2010S, 2015S
o Adaptec SCSI RAID 2100S, 2110S
o Adaptec ATA-100 RAID 2400A
o Adaptec SCSI RAID 3200S, 3210S
o Adaptec SCSI RAID 3400S, 3410S
o Adaptec SmartRAID PM1554
o Adaptec SmartRAID PM1564
o Adaptec SmartRAID PM2554
o Adaptec SmartRAID PM2564
o Adaptec SmartRAID PM2664
o Adaptec SmartRAID PM2754
o Adaptec SmartRAID PM2865
o Adaptec SmartRAID PM3754
o Adaptec SmartRAID PM3755U2B / SmartRAID V Millennium
o Adaptec SmartRAID PM3757
o DEC KZPCC-AC (LVD 1-ch, 4MB or 16MB cache), DEC KZPCC-CE (LVD 3-ch, 64MB cache), DEC KZPCC-XC (LVD 1-ch, 16MB cache), DEC KZPCC-XE (LVD
3-ch, 64MB cache) -- rebadged SmartRAID V Millennium

NOTES
The ATA based controllers present their devices as SCSI-like devices via CAM. For IDE drives attached to these cards, a subset of standard
SCSI commands and mode pages are understood via translation performed in the card's firmware.
SEE ALSO da(4)HISTORY
The asr (Adaptec SCSI RAID) driver first appeared as the dpti2o driver under BSDi BSD/OS 3.2, then under FreeBSD 2.2.8 and was ported over to
the CAM layer represented in 4.0.
