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:

49LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS 8208ELP,
50MegaRAID SAS 8208XLP,
51MegaRAID SAS 8300XLP,
52MegaRAID SAS 8308ELP,
53MegaRAID SAS 8344ELP,
54MegaRAID SAS 8408E,
55MegaRAID SAS 8480E
56.El
57.Pp
58These controllers support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10, and RAID 50
59using either SAS or SATA II drives.
60.Pp
61Although the controllers are actual RAID controllers,
62the driver makes them look just like SCSI controllers.
63All RAID configuration is done through the controllers' BIOSes.
64.Sh EVENTS
65The
66.Nm
67driver is able to send events to
68.Xr powerd 8
69if a drive connected to the controller is not online. The
70.Em state-changed
71event will be sent to the
72.Pa /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_drive
73script when such condition happens.
