32.Nd LSI Logic \*[Am] Dell MegaRAID SAS RAID controller
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Cd "mfi* at pci? dev ? function ?"
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The
37.Nm
38driver provides support for the MegaRAID SAS family of RAID controllers,
39including:

47.It
48Intel RAID Controller SRCSAS18E,

50.It
51LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS 8208ELP,
52MegaRAID SAS 8208XLP,
53MegaRAID SAS 8300XLP,
54MegaRAID SAS 8308ELP,

56MegaRAID SAS 8408E,
57MegaRAID SAS 8480E,
58MegaRAID SAS 8888ELP,
59MegaRAID SAS 8880EM2
60.El
61.Pp
62These controllers support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10, and RAID 50
63using either SAS or SATA II drives.
64.Pp
65Although the controllers are actual RAID controllers,
66the driver makes them look just like SCSI controllers.
67All RAID configuration is done through the controllers' BIOSes.
68.Pp
69.Nm
70supports monitoring of the logical disks in the controller through the
71.Xr bioctl 8
72and
73.Xr envstat 8
74commands.
75.Sh EVENTS
76The
77.Nm
78driver is able to send events to
79.Xr powerd 8
80if a logical drive in the controller is not online. The
81.Em state-changed
82event will be sent to the
83.Pa /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_drive
84script when such condition happens.
