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,
40LSISAS3004,
41LSISAS3008,
42LSISAS3108
43.El
44.Pp
45These chipsets can be found on the following controllers:
46.Pp
47.Bl -dash -offset indent -compact
48.It
49Dell PERC H200, HBA330
50.It
51IBM ServeRAID H1110
52.It
53Lenovo N2215
54.It
55LSI SAS 9200-8e, SAS 9207-8i, SAS 9211-4i, SAS 9211-8i
56.El
57.Pp
58Some models of these controllers carry an Integrated RAID (IR) firmware
59providing support for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID10 or RAID5 using SAS or SATA
60drives.
61All RAID configuration is done through the controllers' BIOSes.

70.Sh HISTORY
71The
72.Nm
73driver first appeared in
74.Ox 4.7 .
75.Sh AUTHORS
76.An -nosplit
77The
78.Nm
79driver was written by
80.An James Giannoules
81and
82.An Mike Belopuhov .
83.Sh BUGS
84The chips supported by
85.Nm
86do not use a SCSI-like identifier.
87Instead they use an opaque ID and leave discovery order up to the operating
88system.
89The code to handle this is currently not implemented and therefore it is not a
90good idea to run this driver on a multi-boot machine.
