	   tws_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The tws driver provides support for LSI's 3ware 9750 SATA+SAS 6Gb/s RAID controller cards.

LOADER TUNABLES

     Tunables can be set at the loader(8) prompt before booting the kernel or stored in loader.conf(5).

     hw.tws.cam_depth	    The maximum queued CAM SIM requests for one controller.  The default value is 256.

     hw.tws.enable_msi	    This tunable enables MSI support on the controller if set to a non-zero value.  The default value is 0.

     hw.tws.queue_depth     The maximum queued requests for one controller.

DIAGNOSTICS

     Whenever the driver encounters a command failure, it prints out an error code in the format: "ERROR: (<error source>: <error code>):", fol-
     lowed by a text description of the error.	There are other error messages and warnings that the driver prints out, depending on the kinds of
     errors that it encounters.  If the driver is compiled with TWS_DEBUG defined, it prints out a whole bunch of debug messages.
