22.Sh NAME
23.Nm mpii
24.Nd LSI Logic Fusion-MPT Message Passing Interface II
25.Sh SYNOPSIS
26.Cd "mpii* at pci? dev ? function ?"
27.Sh DESCRIPTION
28The
29.Nm
30driver provides support for storage controllers using the
31LSI Logic Fusion-MPT Message Passing Interface II
32family of chipsets:
33.Pp
34.Bl -dash -offset indent -compact
35.It
36LSISAS2004,
37LSISAS2008,
38LSISAS2108,
39LSISAS2208,
40LSISAS2216,
41LSISAS2308,
42LSISAS3004,
43LSISAS3008,
44LSISAS3108,
45LSISAS3408,
46LSISAS3416,
47LSISAS3508,
48LSISAS3516
49.El
50.Pp
51These chipsets can be found on the following controllers:
52.Pp
53.Bl -dash -offset indent -compact
54.It
55Dell PERC H200, HBA330, 12Gbps SAS HBA
56.It
57IBM ServeRAID H1110
58.It
59Lenovo N2215, ThinkSystem 430
60.It
61LSI SAS 9200-8e, SAS 9207-8i, SAS 9211-4i, SAS 9211-8i
62.It
63Broadcom SAS 9300, HBA 9400
64.El
65.Pp
66Some models of these controllers carry an Integrated RAID (IR) firmware
67providing support for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID10 or RAID5 using SAS or SATA
68drives.
69All RAID configuration is done through the controllers' BIOSes.
70.Pp
71.Nm
72supports monitoring of the logical disks in the controller through the
73.Xr bioctl 8
74and
75.Xr envstat 8
76commands.
77.Sh EVENTS
78The
79.Nm
80driver is able to send events to
81.Xr powerd 8
82if a logical drive in the controller is not online.
83The
84.Em state-changed
85event will be sent to the
86.Pa /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_drive
87script when such condition happens.

97.Sh HISTORY
98The
99.Nm
100driver first appeared in
101.Ox 4.7 .
102.Nx
103support was added in
104.Nx 6.0 .
105.Sh AUTHORS
106.An -nosplit
107The
108.Nm
109driver was written by
110.An James Giannoules
111and
112.An Mike Belopuhov .
113.Sh BUGS
114The chips supported by
115.Nm
116do not use a SCSI-like identifier.
117Instead they use an opaque ID and leave discovery order up to the operating
118system.
119The code to handle this is currently not implemented and therefore it is not a
120good idea to run this driver on a multi-boot machine.
