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.Cd "scsibus* at mpii?"
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
38.El
39.Pp
40These chipsets can be found on the following controllers:
41.Pp
42.Bl -dash -offset indent -compact
43.It
44Dell PERC H200
45.It
46LSI SAS 9200-8e, SAS 9211-4i, SAS 9211-8i
47.El
48.Pp
49Some models of these controllers have varying degrees of support for RAID 0
50and RAID 1.

59.Sh HISTORY
60The
61.Nm
62driver first appeared in
63.Ox 4.7 .
64.Sh AUTHORS
65.An -nosplit
66The
67.Nm
68driver was written by
69.An James Giannoules
70and
71.An Mike Belopuhov .
72.Sh BUGS
73The chips supported by
74.Nm
75do not use a SCSI-like identifier.
76Instead they use an opaque ID and leave discovery order up to the operating
77system.
78The code to handle this is currently not implemented and therefore it is not a
79good idea to run this driver on a multi-boot machine or with more than 1 drive.
