.Sh NAME
.Nm tws
.Nd 3ware 9750 series SATA/SAS RAID controllers 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 scbus"
.Cd "device tws"
.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
tws_load="YES"
.Ed
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides support for LSI's 3ware 9750 series
SATA/SAS controllers.
.Pp
These controllers are available in 4, 8, 16 or 24-port configurations,
and support the following RAID levels: 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6.
The device nodes for the controllers are of the form
.Pa /dev/tws Ns Ar X ,
where
.Ar X
is the controller number.
The driver is implemented as a SCSI SIM
under CAM, and, as such, the logical units that it controls are accessible
via the device nodes,
.Pa /dev/da Ns Ar Y ,
where
.Ar Y
is the logical unit number.
.Sh LOADER TUNABLES
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Va hw.tws.msi.enable
By default, the driver will use MSI if it is supported.
This behavior can be turned off by setting this tunable to 0.
.El
.Sh HARDWARE
The
.Nm
driver supports the following SATA RAID controllers:
