ARCMSR(4)		 BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual		     ARCMSR(4)

NAME
     arcmsr -- Areca SATA II RAID Controller driver

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

	   device pci
	   device scbus
	   device da
	   device arcmsr

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

	   arcmsr_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
     The arcmsr	driver provides	support	for the	Areca ARC-11xx and ARC-12xx
     series of SATA II RAID controllers.  These	controllers feature RAID-0, 1,
     3,	5, 6, and 10 and JBOD acceleration for up to 16	SATA drives.  Raid
     level and stripe level migration, online capacity expansion, hot inser-
     tion/removal, automatic failover and rebuild, and SMART are also sup-
     ported.  Access to	the arrays is provided via the SCSI CAM	/dev/da? de-
     vice nodes.  A management interface is also present via the /dev/arcmsr?
     device node.  Management tools for	i386 and amd64 are available from
     Areca.

HARDWARE
     The arcmsr	driver supports	the following cards:

     o	 ARC-1110
     o	 ARC-1120
     o	 ARC-1130
     o	 ARC-1160
     o	 ARC-1170
     o	 ARC-1110ML
     o	 ARC-1120ML
     o	 ARC-1130ML
     o	 ARC-1160ML
     o	 ARC-1210
     o	 ARC-1220
     o	 ARC-1230
     o	 ARC-1260
     o	 ARC-1280
     o	 ARC-1210ML
     o	 ARC-1220ML
     o	 ARC-1231ML
     o	 ARC-1261ML
     o	 ARC-1280ML

FILES
     /dev/da?	   Array block device
     /dev/arcmsr?  Management interface

SEE ALSO

HISTORY
     The arcmsr	driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.4.

AUTHORS
     The driver	was written by Erich Chen <erich@areca.com.tw>.

BUGS
     The driver	has been tested	on i386	and amd64.  It likely requires addi-
     tional work to function on	big-endian architectures.
