These chips are also supported by +.Xr ata 4 +and +.Xr mvs 4 . +Some vendors are using same chips, but without providing RAID BIOS. +.El +.Sh DESCRIPTION +The +.Nm +driver provides support for HighPoint's RocketRAID based RAID controllers. +.Pp +These devices support SATA/ATA disk drives +and provide RAID0 (striping), RAID1 (mirroring), and RAID5 functionality. +.Sh HARDWARE +The +.Nm +driver supports the following RAID +controllers: +.Pp +.Bl -bullet -compact +.It +RocketRAID 172x series +.It +RocketRAID 174x series +.It +RocketRAID 2210 +.It +RocketRAID 222x series +.It +RocketRAID 2240 +.It +RocketRAID 230x series +.It +RocketRAID 231x series +.It +RocketRAID 232x series +.It +RocketRAID 2340 +.It +RocketRAID 2522 +.El +.Sh NOTES +The +.Nm +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 +.Nm +driver does +.Em not +work on i386 with +.Xr pae 4 +enabled. +.Pp +This driver does not support the RR182x series controller. +See the +.Xr hptmv 4 +manual page for details on support. +.Pp +This driver supersedes the older rr232x driver. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr ata 4 , +.Xr cam 4 , +.Xr hptmv 4 , +.Xr mvs 4 , +.Xr loader 8 +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Nm +device driver first appeared in +.Fx 6.3 . +.Sh AUTHORS +.An -nosplit +The +.Nm +device driver was written by +.An HighPoint Technologies, Inc. , +and ported to +.Fx +by +.An Scott Long . +This manual page was written by +.An David E.
