.Dd June 5, 2006 .Dt MPT 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm mpt .Nd LSI Fusion-MPT SCSI/Fibre Channel driver .Sh SYNOPSIS To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: d -ragged -offset indent .Cd "device scbus" .Cd "device mpt" .Ed
p Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in .Xr loader.conf 5 : d -literal -offset indent mpt_load="YES" .Ed .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm driver provides support for the LSI Logic Fusion-MPT family of .Tn SCSI , .Tn Fibre Channel and .Tn SAS controllers. .Sh HARDWARE The following controllers are supported by the .Nm driver:
p l -bullet -compact t LSI Logic 53c1030, LSI Logic LSI2x320-X (Single and Dual Ultra320 .Tn SCSI ) t LSI Logic AS1064, LSI Logic AS1068
q Tn SAS/SATA t LSI Logic FC909 (1Gb/s .Tn Fibre Channel ) t LSI Logic FC909A (Dual 1Gb/s .Tn Fibre Channel ) t LSI Logic FC919, LSI Logic 7102XP-LC (Single 2Gb/s .Tn Fibre Channel ) t LSI Logic FC929, LSI Logic FC929X, LSI Logic 7202XP-LC (Dual 2Gb/s .Tn Fibre Channel ) t LSI Logic FC949X (Dual 4Gb/s .Tn Fibre Channel ) .El
p The .Tn SCSI controller chips supported by the .Nm driver can be found onboard on many systems including:
p l -bullet -compact t Dell PowerEdge 1750 thru 2850 t IBM eServer xSeries 335 .El
p These systems also contain Integrated Raid Mirroring and Integrated Raid Mirroring Enhanced which this driver also supports.
p The .Tn SAS controller chips are also present on many new AMD/Opteron based systems, like the Sun 4100. Note that this controller can drive both SAS and SATA drives or a mix of them at the same time.
p This driver also supports target mode for Fibre Channel cards. This support may be enabled by setting the desired role of the core via the LSI Logic firmware utility that establishes what roles the card can take on - no separate compilation is required. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr cd 4 , .Xr ch 4 , .Xr da 4 , .Xr pci 4 , .Xr sa 4 , .Xr scsi 4 , .Xr targ 4 .Rs .%T "LSI Logic Website" .%O http://www.lsilogic.com/ .Re .Sh HISTORY The .Nm driver first appeared in .Fx 4.6 . .Sh AUTHORS .An -nosplit The .Nm driver was originally written for .Fx by .An Greg Ansley and substantially improved upon by .An Matt Jacob Aq mjacob@FreeBSD.org and .An Justin Gibbs Aq gibbs@FreeBSD.org . .Sh BUGS This driver has been reported to have problems under the VMware ESX server.
p This driver does not yet work on big endian machines like Sparc64.
