.Nd Compaq Intelligent Drive Array Controllers
.Sh SYNOPSIS
-For one or more devices:
.Cd device scbus
.Cd device ida
.Sh DESCRIPTION
-.Pp
The Compaq Intelligent Drive Array (IDA) technology is used to
distribute data across an array of hard drives.
It unites these hard drives into one or more high-performance logical drives.
@@ -21,37 +19,49 @@ The drive array is managed by an array controller.
.Pp
These controllers have the ability to provide fault tolerance for the connected
drives and optionally provide write cache for the logical drives.
-It is also possible for an application to access the SCSI bus subsystem directly by
-using the pass-through interface.
-.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
-Extreme caution should be exercised when using the pass-through interface.
-It is possible to interfere with normal system I/O and cause hangs if
-pass-through is used to an active device.
-Pass-through should only be used to a device that is otherwise quiescent.
