IPS(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual IPS(4) NAME
ips -- IBM/Adaptec ServeRAID controller driver SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device pci device scbus device ips Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): ips_load="YES" DESCRIPTION
The ips driver claims to support the IBM (now Adaptec) ServeRAID series SCSI controller cards. These cards come with a built in configuration utility stored in the firmware known as the ISPR. This utility is accessed with the <Ctrl+I> key combination during the initial card POST. It is highly recommended that this utility be used to configure the card before attempting to diagnose the below error messages. In some cases, the ips driver can have difficulties attaching during the system initialization period. To avoid these difficulties, set the hw.ips.0.disable tunable to 1. It will prevent the driver from attaching. HARDWARE
Controllers supported by the ips driver include: o IBM ServeRAID 3H o ServeRAID 4L/4M/4H o ServeRAID Series 5 o ServeRAID 6i/6M o ServeRAID 7t/7k/7M Newer ServeRAID controllers are supported by the aac(4) or mfi(4) driver. DIAGNOSTICS
Several error codes may be shown when the card initializes the IBM ISPR utility and are independent of FreeBSD. ips%d: failed to get adapter configuration data from device ips%d: failed to get drive configuration data from device Unable to obtain adapter or drive configuration. ips%d iobuf error A buffer input/output error has occurred. [ENXIO] General adapter errors: Attaching bus failed This message is undocumented. WARNING: command timeout. Adapter is in toaster mode, resetting A command timeout has caused the adapter to be reset. AIEE! adapter reset failed, giving up and going home! Have a nice day An error occurred while attempting to reset the adapter. unable to get adapter configuration unable to get drive configuration There was an error when attempting to get configuration information. Adapter error during initialization. adapter initialization failed There was an error while attempting to initialize the adapter. adapter failed config check adapter clear failed There was an error while checking the adapter. device is disabled The adapter is disabled. resource allocation failed irq allocation failed irq setup failed The driver was unable to allocate resources for the device. Error messages due to DMA: can't alloc command dma tag can't alloc SG dma tag can't alloc dma tag for statue queue dmamap failed Failure to map or allocate DMA resources. Cache, buffer, and command errors: failed to initialize command buffers no mem for command slots! The ips driver will return [ENOMEM] in such cases. ERROR: unable to get a command! can't flush cache! ERROR: cache flush command failed! ERROR: unable to get a command! can't update nvram ERROR: nvram update command failed! ERROR: unable to get a command! can't sync cache! ERROR: cache sync command failed! ERROR: unable to get a command! can't sync cache! ERROR: etable command failed! COMPATIBILITY
Unlike many of the other SCSI devices in FreeBSD, the ips driver does not use the cam(4) SCSI subsystem. SEE ALSO

AAC(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual AAC(4) NAME
aac -- Adaptec AdvancedRAID Controller driver SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device pci device aac device aacp To compile in debugging code: options AAC_DEBUG=N Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): aac_load="YES" DESCRIPTION
The aac driver provides support for the Adaptec AAC family of SCSI Ultra2, Ultra160, and Ultra320, SATA and SAS RAID controllers. Access to RAID containers is available via the /dev/aacd? device nodes. The aacp device enables 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/aac? device nodes provide access to the management interface of the controller. One node exists per installed card. The aliases /dev/afa? and /dev/hpn? exist for compatibility with the Dell and HP versions of management tools, respectively. If the kernel is compiled with the COMPAT_LINUX option, or the aac_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

/dev/aac? aac management interface /dev/aacd? disk/container interface DIAGNOSTICS
Compiling with AAC_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. SEE ALSO

Mike Smith <msmith@FreeBSD.org> Scott Long <scottl@FreeBSD.org> BUGS
This driver is not compatible with Dell controllers that have version 1.x firmware. The firmware version is the same as the kernel version printed in the BIOS POST and driver attach messages. The controller is not actually paused on suspend/resume. BSD
