HPTRR(4)		    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-
       HighPoint) PCI identification.	These  chips  are  also	 supported  by
       ata(4) and mvs(4).  Some	vendors	are using same chips, but without pro-
       viding 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 (strip-
       ing), RAID1 (mirroring),	and RAID5 functionality.

HARDWARE
       The hptrr driver	supports the following RAID controllers:

          RocketRAID 172x series
          RocketRAID 174x series
          RocketRAID 2210
          RocketRAID 222x series
          RocketRAID 2240
          RocketRAID 230x series
          RocketRAID 231x series
          RocketRAID 232x series
          RocketRAID 2340
          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 sup-
       ply 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.

FreeBSD	13.2			 June 6, 2012			      HPTRR(4)
