AACRAID(4)		    Kernel Interfaces Manual		    AACRAID(4)

NAME
       aacraid -- Adaptec AACRAID 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 connected to the card such as CD-ROMs to be	avail-
       able via	the CAM	scsi(4)	subsystem.  Note that not all cards allow this
       interface to be enabled.

       The /dev/aacraid? device	nodes provide access to	the management	inter-
       face  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
       Controllers supported by	the aacraid driver include:

          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  en-
       able increasingly verbose debug messages.

       The  adapter  can  send status and alert	messages asynchronously	to the
       driver.	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.
