31.Dt IOPSP 4
32.Os
33.Sh NAME
34.Nm iopsp
35.Nd I2O SCSI port driver
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Cd "iopsp* at iop? tid ?"
38.Cd "scsibus* at iopsp?"
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Nm
42driver provides support for I2O SCSI bus adapter ports and child
43peripherals.
44.Pp
45IOPs present each child peripheral attached to a bus adapter port as an
46individual device.  In order to present the appearance of a bus, the
47.Nm
48driver groups child peripherals by controlling port.
49.Pp
50On IOPs containing a SCSI port and block or tape driver modules, some SCSI
51devices may not be directly accessible.  For each inaccessible device, a
52message will be displayed during configuration.  For example:
53.Bd -literal
54	iopsp0: target 0,0 (tid 70): in use by tid 47
55.Ed
56.Pp
57Such devices will usually be indirectly accessible as block devices, either
58individually or as part of an array.
