21.Sh NAME
22.Nm mpii
23.Nd LSI Logic Fusion-MPT Message Passing Interface II
24.Sh SYNOPSIS
25.Cd "mpii* at pci?"
26.Sh DESCRIPTION
27The
28.Nm
29driver provides support for storage controllers using the
30LSI Logic Fusion-MPT Message Passing Interface II
31family of chipsets:
32.Pp
33.Bl -dash -offset indent -compact
34.It
35LSISAS2004,
36LSISAS2008,
37LSISAS2108,
38LSISAS2208,
39LSISAS2308
40.El
41.Pp
42These chipsets can be found on the following controllers:
43.Pp
44.Bl -dash -offset indent -compact
45.It
46Dell PERC H200
47.It
48IBM ServeRAID H1110
49.It
50LSI SAS 9200-8e, SAS 9207-8i, SAS 9211-4i, SAS 9211-8i
51.El
52.Pp
53Some models of these controllers have varying degrees of support for RAID 0
54and RAID 1.

63.Sh HISTORY
64The
65.Nm
66driver first appeared in
67.Ox 4.7 .
68.Sh AUTHORS
69.An -nosplit
70The
71.Nm
72driver was written by
73.An James Giannoules
74and
75.An Mike Belopuhov .
76.Sh BUGS
77The chips supported by
78.Nm
79do not use a SCSI-like identifier.
80Instead they use an opaque ID and leave discovery order up to the operating
81system.
82The code to handle this is currently not implemented and therefore it is not a
83good idea to run this driver on a multi-boot machine.
