Serial Attached SCSI/SATA driver" +.Sh SYNOPSIS +To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your +kernel configuration file: +.Bd -ragged -offset indent +.Cd "device pci" +.Cd "device scbus" +.Cd "device mpr" +.Ed +.Pp +Alternatively, to load the driver as a +module at boot time, place the following line in +.Xr loader.conf 5 : +.Bd -literal -offset indent +mpr_load="YES" +.Ed +.Sh DESCRIPTION +The +.Nm +driver provides support for LSI Fusion-MPT 3 IT/IR +.Tn SAS +controllers. +.Sh HARDWARE +The following controllers are supported by the +.Nm +driver: +.Pp +.Bl -bullet -compact +.It +LSI SAS 3004 (4 Port SAS) +.It +LSI SAS 3008 (8 Port SAS) +.It +LSI SAS 3108 (8 Port SAS) +.El +.Sh CONFIGURATION +To disable MSI interrupts for all +.Nm +driver instances, set the following tunable value in +.Xr loader.conf 5 : +.Bd -literal -offset indent +hw.mpr.disable_msi=1 +.Ed +.Pp +To disable MSI interrupts for a specific +.Nm +driver instance, set the following tunable value in +.Xr loader.conf 5 : +.Bd -literal -offset indent +dev.mpr.X.disable_msi=1 +.Ed +.Pp +where X is the adapter number. +.Pp +To disable MSI-X interrupts for all +.Nm +driver instances, set the following tunable value in +.Xr loader.conf 5 : +.Bd -literal -offset indent +hw.mpr.disable_msix=1 +.Ed +.Pp +To disable MSI-X interrupts for a specific +.Nm +driver instance, set the following tunable value in +.Xr loader.conf 5 : +.Bd -literal -offset indent +dev.mpr.X.disable_msix=1 +.Ed +.Pp +To set the maximum number of DMA chains allocated for all adapters, set +the following variable in +.Xr loader.conf 5 : +.Bd -literal -offset indent +hw.mpr.max_chains=NNNN +.Ed +.Pp +To set the maximum number of DMA chains allocated for a specific adapter, +set the following variable in +.Xr loader.conf 5 : +.Bd -literal -offset indent +dev.mpr.X.max_chains=NNNN +.Ed +.Pp +This variable may also be viewed via +.Xr sysctl 8 +to see the maximum set for a given adapter. +.Pp +The current number of free chain frames may be seen via the +dev.mpr.X.chain_free +.Xr sysctl 8 +variable. +.Pp +The lowest number of free chain frames may be seen via the +dev.mpr.X.chain_free_lowwater +.Xr sysctl 8 +variable. +.Pp +The current number of active I/O commands is shown in the +dev.mpr.X.io_cmds_active +.Xr sysctl 8 +variable. +.Pp +The maximum number of active I/O commands seen since boot is shown in the +dev.mpr.X.io_cmds_highwater +.Xr sysctl 8 +variable. +.Pp +Devices can be excluded from +.Nm +control for all adapters by setting the following variable in +.Xr loader.conf 5 : +.Bd -literal -offset indent +hw.mpr.exclude_ids=Y +.Ed +.Pp +where Y is the target ID of the device. +If more than one device is to be +excluded, target ID's are separated by commas. +.Pp +Devices can be excluded from +.Nm +control for a specific adapter by setting the following variable in +.Xr loader.conf 5 : +.Bd -literal -offset indent +dev.mpr.X.exclude_ids=Y +.Ed +.Pp +where X is the adapter number and Y is the target ID of the device. +If more +than one device is to be excluded, target ID's are separated by commas. +.Sh DEBUGGING +To enable debugging prints from the +.Nm +driver, set the +.Bd -literal -offset indent +hw.mpr.X.debug_level +.Ed +.Pp +variable, where X is the adapter number, either in +.Xr loader.conf 5 +or via +.Xr sysctl 8 . +The following bits have the described effects: +.Bd -literal -offset indent +0x0001 Enable informational prints. +0x0002 Enable prints for driver faults. +0x0004 Enable prints for controller events. +0x0008 Enable prints for controller logging. +0x0010 Enable prints for tracing recovery operations. +0x0020 Enable prints for parameter errors and programming bugs. +0x0040 Enable prints for system initialization operations. +0x0080 Enable prints for more detailed information. +0x0100 Enable prints for user-generated commands. +0x0200 Enable prints for device mapping. +0x0400 Enable prints for tracing through driver functions. +.Ed +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr cam 4 , +.Xr cd 4 , +.Xr ch 4 , +.Xr da 4 , +.Xr mps 4 , +.Xr mpt 4 , +.Xr pci 4 , +.Xr sa 4 , +.Xr scsi 4 , +.Xr targ 4 ,
