HPTRR(4)	       FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual		      HPTRR(4)

NAME
     hptrr -- HighPoint	RocketRAID device driver

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

	   device hptrr
	   device scbus
	   device da

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

	   hptrr_load="YES"

     The following tunables are	settable from the loader:

     hw.hptrr.attach_generic
     set to 1 to permit	driver attach to chips with generic Marvell (non-High-
     Point) PCI	identification.	 These chips are also supported	by ata(4) and
     mvs(4).  Some vendors are using same chips, but without providing RAID
     BIOS.

DESCRIPTION
     The hptrr driver provides support for HighPoint's RocketRAID based	RAID
     controllers.

     These devices support SATA/ATA disk drives	and provide RAID0 (striping),
     RAID1 (mirroring),	and RAID5 functionality.

HARDWARE
     The hptrr driver supports the following RAID controllers:

     o	 RocketRAID 172x series
     o	 RocketRAID 174x series
     o	 RocketRAID 2210
     o	 RocketRAID 222x series
     o	 RocketRAID 2240
     o	 RocketRAID 230x series
     o	 RocketRAID 231x series
     o	 RocketRAID 232x series
     o	 RocketRAID 2340
     o	 RocketRAID 2522

NOTES
     The hptrr driver only works on the	i386 and amd64 platforms as it re-
     quires a binary blob object from the manufacturer which they only supply
     for these platforms.  The hptrr driver does not work on i386 with pae(4)
     enabled.

     This driver does not support the RR182x series controller.	 See the
     hptmv(4) manual page for details on support.

     This driver supersedes the	older rr232x driver.

SEE ALSO
     ata(4), cam(4), hptmv(4), mvs(4), loader(8)

HISTORY
     The hptrr device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 6.3.

AUTHORS
     The hptrr device driver was written by HighPoint Technologies, Inc., and
     ported to FreeBSD by Scott	Long.  This manual page	was written by David
     E.	O'Brien.

BUGS
     The hptrr driver does not support manipulating the	RAID from the OS,
     RAIDs need	to be set up from the on-board BIOS.
