AACRAID(4)		     Kernel Interfaces Manual		      AACRAID(4)

NAME
     aacraid -- Adaptec Series 6/7/8 6G and 12G SAS+SATA RAID controller driver

SYNOPSIS
     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
     kernel configuration file:

	   device pci
	   device aacraid

	   To compile in debugging code:
	   options AACRAID_DEBUG=N

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
     following line in loader.conf(5):

	   aacraid_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
     The  aacraid  driver  provides  support  for  the	Adaptec by PMC RAID con-
     trollers, including Series 6/7/8 and upcoming families.

     The RAID containers are handled via the aacraidp0 bus.  The physical  buses
     are represented by the aacraidp? devices (beginning with aacraidp1).  These
     devices  enable the SCSI pass-passthrough interface and allows devices con-
     nected to the card such as CD-ROMs to be available via the CAM scsi(4) sub-
     system.  Note that not all cards allow this interface to be enabled.

     The /dev/aacraid? device nodes provide access to the  management  interface
     of   the	controller.   One  node  exists  per  installed  card.	 If  the
     aacraid_linux.ko and linux.ko  modules  are  loaded,  the	Linux-compatible
     ioctl(2) interface for the management device will be enabled and will allow
     Linux-based management applications to control the card.

HARDWARE
     The  aacraid driver supports the following Adaptec 6G and 12G SAS/SATA RAID
     controllers:

     *	 Adaptec ASR-6405(T|E)
     *	 Adaptec ASR-6445
     *	 Adaptec ASR-6805(T|E|Q|TQ)
     *	 Adaptec ASR-7085
     *	 Adaptec ASR-7805(Q)
     *	 Adaptec ASR-70165
     *	 Adaptec ASR-71605(E|Q)
     *	 Adaptec ASR-71685
     *	 Adaptec ASR-72405
     *	 Adaptec Series 8 cards

FILES
     /dev/aacraid?	      aacraid management interface

DIAGNOSTICS
     Compiling with AACRAID_DEBUG set to a number between 0 and  3  will  enable
     increasingly verbose debug messages.

     The  adapter  can send status and alert messages asynchronously to the dri-
     ver.  These messages are printed on the system console, and are also queued
     for retrieval by a management application.

BUGS
     The controller is not actually paused on suspend/resume.
