32.Nd LSI Logic & 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,

65.El
66.Pp
67These controllers support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, RAID 50 and
68RAID 60 using either SAS or SATA II drives.
69.Pp
70Although the controllers are actual RAID controllers,
71the driver makes them look just like SCSI controllers.
72All RAID configuration is done through the controllers' BIOSes.
73.Pp
74.Nm
75supports monitoring of the logical disks in the controller through the
76.Xr bioctl 8
77and
78.Xr envstat 8
79commands.
80.Sh EVENTS
81The
82.Nm
83driver is able to send events to
84.Xr powerd 8
85if a logical drive in the controller is not online.
86The
87.Em state-changed
88event will be sent to the
89.Pa /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_drive
90script when such condition happens.
