AACRAID(4)	       FreeBSD 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	available 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 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 al-
     low Linux-based management	applications to	control	the card.

HARDWARE
     Controllers supported by the aacraid driver include:

     o	 Adaptec ASR-6405(T|E)
     o	 Adaptec ASR-6445
     o	 Adaptec ASR-6805(T|E|Q|TQ)
     o	 Adaptec ASR-7085
     o	 Adaptec ASR-7805(Q)
     o	 Adaptec ASR-70165
     o	 Adaptec ASR-71605(E|Q)
     o	 Adaptec ASR-71685
     o	 Adaptec ASR-72405
     o	 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
     driver.  These messages are printed on the	system console,	and are	also
     queued for	retrieval by a management application.
