21.Sh NAME
22.Nm mfii
23.Nd LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS Fusion RAID controller
24.Sh SYNOPSIS
25.Cd "mfii* at pci?"
26.Sh DESCRIPTION
27The
28.Nm
29driver provides support for the MegaRAID SAS Fusion family of RAID controllers
30using the following chipsets:
31.Pp
32.Bl -dash -offset indent -compact
33.It
34SAS2208
35.It
36SAS3008
37.It

46SAS3504
47.It
48SAS3508
49.It
50SAS3516
51.El
52.Pp
53These controllers support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, RAID 50 and
54RAID 60 using either SAS or SATA II drives.
55.Pp
56Although the controllers are actual RAID controllers,
57they appear as SCSI controllers.
58All RAID configuration is done through the controllers' BIOSes.
59.Pp
60.Nm
61supports monitoring of the logical disks in the controller through the
62.Xr bioctl 8
63and
64.Xr envstat 8
65commands.
66.Sh EVENTS
67The
68.Nm
69driver is able to send events to
70.Xr powerd 8
71if a logical drive in the controller is not online.
72The
73.Em state-changed
74event will be sent to the
75.Pa /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_drive
76script when such condition happens.
